I'm not a programmer. I'm wondering why there are so many programming languages. Isn't it better to have one that is based on logic that can be a universal programming language?

Morbo hit the nail on the head with the comment. I started out with Z80 assembly language then went to Cobol and Fortran, all courses courtesy of VA training courses. I coded in compiled Pascal for several years too. Now I just run my Linux workstation and say to meself, "works pretty good" -- and only change a script when I absolutely have too. That's usually after every single "update" since updates always bork something up, usually the printers or the zoom camera.
