Yes, most languages do specify a goal. For example, Rust focuses on memory safety and is a systems programming language. Go focus on speed and simplicity and so on. While the goal is good to know, the purpose matters more IMO. Some languages do not specify a purpose but looking at how it's widely used you can infer it.
