IMHO, machine learning is a tiny aspect of the issue. The main issue is that, strangely, C is still the desert island language (first hit: http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/c/intro.html http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~blynn/c/intro.html). The is a huge intimacy between the C language and CPU, they have evolved together during the many years of Moore law. I think there should exist a far better language to access hardware. linux kernel should migrate to this language. And the intimacy between OS and hardware should drive CPU (and GPU) toward better directions. Maybe I am dreaming.
