The paper "C is not a low level language as we are not programming a PDP11" (something like that anyway) made a good point that C is only fast on a multi core machine because c fans work hard at keeping the laurel. What does a low level language look like when you have 8 cores? Conversely what would a high level language look like for (low level) verilog and FPGAs?
