I think languages teaching people of any age that wasting enormous amounts of clock cycles for basic book keeping is much more detrimental. It causes one to have to buy a new machine every few years because the damned crap that people write is just getting slower without any end to this process in sight. I think it is time to realize the value of zero cost abstractions. Well, there actually are not zero cost abstractions, but what about extremely low cost abstractions? It might also be time to start watching some Johnathan Blow videos on YouTube. They might also give one some nudge in the right direction.
