But he says that he has a large-scale systemic solution, it is literally the reason for his videos.

He isn't doing it so I can get my CPU trivia, but because he believes it will result in better software. Been at it for years, and so far I don't think it's going better.

My opinion is that better software will not come from CPU-aware people, but from people having enough of all the BS and switching to simpler solutions. You speak about language/libraries, what make you think it would come from those?

I do believe he is smart, just unfortunate he puts his talent on the wrong path. It's not like he does not understand the impact of simplicity/working independently, as it is how he made his "fast terminal" showcase: by tying to bypass system libraries as much as possible, transforming it into a simple (or at least less theoretical) problem.
