Well, I feel like it would do the software industry some good if there was a low-level language that was still very high level (in that it has high-level abstractions) with C speed (or faster) and C portability. I dunno. I'm also fascinated by how nothing's managed to come along after all this time and pushed C off its throne. Aren't building and using new abstractions what programming is all about? Why not have new abstractions in a low-level setting?
