"These languages aren't "stuck" there, it's just that it takes time to optimize" Another thing is that we have CPU architecture that is optimized for a one size fits all system when it comes to personal computing. If we truly wanted power from higher level, more expressive languages and programming systems, we would have architecture designed for those systems. If you want to experiment with truly new programming languages and environments, you probably have to experiment with hardware too. Our present reality makes this difficult to change, which is really too bad.
