To make an article about how C maps to the processor and fail to make any distinction between application programming and embedded programming seems strange to me. After all, C is by far the most common language for programs running on micro-controllers, and it actually does map well to many micro-controller architectures in use today.

I'm clearly not the target audience for this article, but I still feel like the author would be well advised to put a little note at the top that says "we're talking about CISC and high-end microprocessors rather than microcontrollers."

I'm also not seeing suggestions for languages that do map well to modern microprocessors.
