Software efficiency is traded for time efficiency, you see this less with hardware constraints like embedded systems programming. As hardware capabilities increase, efficiency is less necessary. I see a reversal of this with rust (ripgrep is amazing), web assembly, while making programming easy leads to poorly optimized software like electron wrappers.
tl;dr
