For the moment, using higher-level languages seems a natural go-to. It's comfortable, and energy and hardware are abundant.
But this won't last. Many energy sources and metals are peaking and I can imagine a day when efficiency will count heavily.

They're just too useful when it comes to working on large-scale systems. Do you want to rewrite Linux in hand-optimized assembler? And then rewrite it for every single platform that you may want to run it on?
