It's really an extension of the abstraction debate.
X86 was designed for performance. The language really hates humans compared to machine languages that came before. I thought it was a truly stupid idea at the time but had to change my mind eventually.
Then we glue on many layers of abstraction and made everything as convenient for the programmer as possible. Performance became unimportant!
It imho begs to question why we are even using x86 or risk or even FORTH if performance doesn't matter. Make something luxurious that doesn't need to be compiled? Perhaps plug and play coprocessors named after libraries.
But if we aren't going to look at the code anymore we might as well write the application in English and give the LLM some cache. Go full prayer driven development.
