Most languages just change the syntax of operations.
OTOH, many introduce (or, promote to first-class notions)
techniques and mechanisms that are tedious to implement
in other languages.
E.g., support for concurrency has to be added to most
languages; there are no notions of having other processes
running alongside "yours"; thus, no mechanisms for exchanging
information with them, no mechanisms to ensure competing
accesses to data are atomic, etc.
Imagine using C (or any other programming language) to
*interact* with a relational database... how many errors
would a user likely make by failing to address the issues
that SQL hides?
