Design, prescriptive language, and abstract categories are for those
that aren't doing new things.  Evolution, or search, is for dealing with
new things.  I see no problem with having dozens of evolved languages to
describe different sorts of things, but perhaps retrospectively some of
them are really the same and worth abstracting and compressing.
