To your 5th point: newer generations have not been confronted with the hardware limitations older generations had to cope with.

- dagw 2y agonewer generations have not been confronted with the hardware limitations older generations had to cope with. That has been true for every new generation of programmers since the invention of computers. My uncle started to program using Fortran IV in the 60s and he said that the 'real' programmers at the time looked down on the likes of him for using such an inefficient high level language and not learning how to program properly.
