    Some languages have different levels of abstraction, many modern languages are moving towards less-rigorous formatting rules.

    Some are based on making lots of subroutines and defining the procedure of how the code is run, while some are based on defining things in terms of the objects in the code and how they are changed during the process.

    Some have lots of libraries and are built around easily incorporating already-defined functions.

    Some are better adapted to web functions or database management.

    Basically different languages are built for different purposes, but also some are easier to use and learn (mainly newer ones).

    Sorry meant to reply to the guy above you.
