The one line introduction to ALL computer languages

What one line sentence encapsulate the mindset behind a computer language ?
What pithy expression describes its preponderant ideology ?
How can you introduce a new technology to a fellow professional or curious mind ?

I have set out to compile this list and hope to make updates based on inputs I get from the community.
Note the term computer language is used loosely to include programming languages, markups and even libraries and frameworks.

Let’s go!

The Payload

Python — Everything is an object
Haskell — All problems can be solved recursively
Java — Everything is a class
PHP — Worse is better
AngularJs— You can do a lot more when data binds in both directions
JSON — Every kind of data can be expressed in array form
Common Lisp — code is data and data is code
HTML — Tags and attributes make it easier to display data
XML — let’s separate data from metadata
C — {still thinking about the most appropriate sentence}
C++ — {Still thinking….}
Javascript — {Still thinking….}
Perl — {Still thinking….}
Golang — {Still thinking….}
React — {Still thinking….}
C# — {Dunno!}
Pascal — {Still thinking….}
Delphi — {Still thinking….}

This list is certainly not exhaustive, I’ll update based on contributions and give proper credits
