Can I use rust as my higher level language of choice? :)
In all seriousness though, I wonder if once Moore's law really stops we'll see a surge of innovation in compiler and language paradigms, born out of necessity. It seems to me that the revolution in higher-level languages and paradigms came because we could (computationally) afford it, so it makes sense that once the incentives change we'll see innovation in other areas.

- perl4ever 8y agoI would think other HN readers are more at the center of things than me and better equipped to comment, but my perception is, comparing the last ten years to the ten years before that, we have seen Moore's law stop and we have seen a surge of innovation in software, and even in chip design when you consider things like TPUs. It seems odd to present it as speculation about the future.
