How much longer until every project is written in its own language? This doesn't actually bother me: there is so little difference between the proliferation of new languages that "mastery" is kind of a meaningless term. Previous languages are tweaked for a particular task from a base language, and the project / application is made a bit easier.

In other words: writing a custom language for each application in the name of efficiency or more elegant patterns seems to make perfect sense.
