>>106792473With a high level language, there are compromises in the implementation. Things that the computer could do, but which they can't express (or at least not easily). These are inherent to making a high-level language: as a language designer, you have to choose what to exclude in order to make other aspects more tractable/comprehensible.This wouldn't matter too much (you'd pick the set of features you want for a particular application, and the language based on that) except for ecosystem effects. In general, you also need to pick the language based on what libraries exist and what other programmers you can who can work with the toolset; that pushes people into picking languages non-optimally.Wirth would have understood this well, and would have hated it despite being powerless to change it.
