The reason we have programming languages at all is to make the process of using the CPU easier. We don't code in assembly because it's easier to do things with higher level languages. If you can make a language both designed to run around CPU hardware well and also be easy for a human to use, then great. If not, then it's trade-offs. If I can make a higher level language like Java run better on hardware, then isn't that great? If it makes the CPU slower because the Javaness of it, then I guess that sucks, but it isn't necessarily the end goal.
