Because it hasn't.

There are languages out there, for instance, that support "design by 
contract", which was first mentioned no more than 23 years ago.

Aspect-oriented programming languages haven't been around for longer 
than 8 years.


But I guess the most pressing problem computer languages need to address 
is multiprocessing. At present, the number of languages /natively/ 
supporting multithreading (let alone distributed computing) is rather 
limited, while target platforms are already starting to enter consumer 
households on a large scale.
