“Every language was created for a specific purpose”

Question

I was reading the post Why Language is Important (Why I prefer C#) from \'Dot Net Thoughts\' and the first paragraph of the article ends with this statement:

Answer 1

PHP Originally stood for "Personal Home Pages" which says it all I think.

APL Stands for "A Programming Language" and was created for "teaching and analysis of topics related to the application of computers"

TCL Pronounced "Tickle" was "born out of frustration" by John Ousterhout and was meant to be embedded in other applications

Applescript Was a progression from Hypertalk for Appels HyperCard application and was, like TCL, designed to be embedded in other applications to facilitate scripting.

That's all. My Programming Language history isn't great.
