Considering Wirth was apparently having that debate back in 1995 and even then it was far from a new idea, i doubt we'll solve it any time soon.

Software will just keep getting bloatier and bloatier and hardware more and more powerful to cope with the software inefficiencies (what? you think hitting hardware limits will solve this? nah, we'll just put more cpus in there so that software can be slow in parallel and of course train users to think slow software is normal).
