He's also claimed that our computers are 2+ orders of magnitude off the productivity that should be achievable while reaching his goals. It's not so much that all software of old was amazing, it's that we really have lost something when RemeDyBG is 1000x faster than Visual Studio, with Visual Studio having hundreds of years of development effort and RemeDyBG has a couple years of development effort.
His philosophy is that if we built software differently, we could build it faster and it would be faster. The emphasis on garbage collection and borrow checkers and everything else related to memory management misses the point (memory arenas are way better for the vast majority of use cases). The emphasis on Object-Oriented code is awful. The paradigm of RAII is completely counterproductive. There are very specific issues that Blow takes on, not just a general feeling of malaise.
