I don't see why these are orthogonal objectives. You still have to write efficient declarative code. If I say spawn 10 billion divs as part of the spec then clearly that's an issue. Funny, a lot of developers complain about things like rust and Haskell being too slow to get stuff done in. I agree, the user and those things should be the priority. Developer time should not be the main priority. But I would say the majority of developers do not even optimise for those things (php, c, every language without typing, strict memory models etc).
