At the end of the day, software always exceeds the ability of the hardware to run it. That's the cyclical nature of our business. Just for myself, I'd rather write to the easiest software methodology and wait a bit for compilers/transpilers/interpreters, etc to be fast enough that it doesn't matter what I write. In other words, one can't really optimize for the top level (ease of use) and the bottom level (speed) at the same time. Turing demonstrated that there are only two differences between any computers that have ever existed: how fast they are, and how difficult they are to program.
