   language. The very thought of a 'perfect' <EM>anything</EM> is difficult to
   explain, and of all things, programming languages are among the least
   applicable to standards of perfection.

   according to limited domains. A programming language, at it's core, is
   an abstraction, and abstractions exist to make life easier for the
   person doing the abstracting. As such, we can judge programming
   languages based on the abstractions their designers chose to make and
   reach conclusions about which languages are appropriate for particular
   kinds of abstractions.
