If "any language" means "any language sufficiently low-level to have C-like pointers", then no contest! Surely the point of any language at all is to abstract away some details of the underlying hardware. Both for portability and to make things easier for human brains. How much you should abstract away obviously varies, based on what you're trying to do, and on how varied the hardware is. And it depends on how much computation & memory you can give your compiler. One reason new languages can have nicer abstractions is that they don't have to compile on 1970s hardware. |
