> it's always interesting to compare what reasons people give why low-level languages are going to go away really soon now. Because C has killed off most assembly language already, compared to the 1970s. Because you can talk about writing C++ for embedded systems without busting up laughing. Because "embedded" means ARM and not TMS1000 these days. Because not even BART is still running PDP-8s in production anymore. Because the extreme low end changes slowly, but it does change.
