> he's saying c's model just doesn't work well anymore. The author argues that C's model does not fit the model he defined himself and claims to be the same model used by everyone. After going through the article, I'm left with the impression that the author's thesis is flawed and relies on a series of strawmen arguments. Among the strawmen we find: * arguing that speculative execution "were added to let C programmers continue to believe they were programming in a low-level language". * claiming that "modern processors are trying to emulate "the same abstract machine as a PDP-11" * "Creating a new thread is a library operation known to be expensive, so processors wishing to keep their execution units busy running C code rely on ILP (instruction-level parallelism)." * etc etc etc. I don't think this opinion piece is grounded on reality, let alone is an objective take.
