While, yes, you can't run CERN on a raspberry pi, the performance limitations of the underlying CPU are a fundamentally separate problem (unless you're developing for a microcontroller). Going out and writing code (any code!) is a purely mental exercise that's unaffected by the outside world. Don't like the syntax? Use another language! Want a feature that's not currently there? Import a library! The point is that code was meant to be written, whether it relies on a physical processor or not. You have lots of different options that each try to make it easier for the programmer.

That's not entirely true either. Computer programming is largely performed using text in a 2d grid, and there are a good deal of problems not suitable to being represented that way. Language designers have to deal with this when deciding what syntax to support, and how that maps to the desired semantics. This is one of the reasons for the proliferation of so many different languages in the first place.
