All of this extra memory and CPU power has made us lazy. Simple applications often lag, because they are written on top of heaps of crap. Yet you look at a 4k demo that does more impressive stuff with a fraction of the resources. When we step really far back, an application should not require that much code. Nor should the process of abstracting an application on top of a native system. These things only get muddled when you depend on specific functionality of the system that is difficult to abstract (i.e. native GUI component and layout), which you can easily simulate with your own GUI renderer, potentially in a more optimal way. Anyhow, I'll sit here waiting patiently until someone figures out how to write once, run everywhere in a relatively bloat-free manner. :)
