How can knowledge of programming language characteristics benefit the whole computing community?
There is no single programming language that is ideally suited to solving every problem. When designing a solution, one of the first things we decide upon is which language or languages we will use to implement the solution and we can only do that when we are aware of the language characteristics. Choosing the wrong language can prove to be an expensive mistake, so it is important that we weigh up the pros and cons of each language, not only in terms of what those languages allow us to do but also in terms of the quality of the machine code produced by the language compiler. We also need to consider what libraries are available in addition to any standard libraries, because adapting existing mature code greatly reduces development costs; we don't waste time and money re-inventing wheels.
