Because hardware is so much faster now than it was 20 or 30 years

>Because hardware is so much faster now than it was 20 or 30 years ago, what is the fucking purpose of using low level languages like C or C++?
Doing more work with that faster hardware instead of doing the same work that we used to do with less?

It's pretty much ded.

Because using software written in these languages brings performance levels 30 years back(except the explicitly optimized cases like numerics in Java - try doing it with objects and it becomes like ten times worse).

we want to use the new hardware as effectively as possible.
Otherwise, what's the point if the new hardware just runs inefficient software?

However, I agree that it's not always necessary to use a low level language to achieve the necessary performance.

Because java is awful, C# is good though and has a future (CLR)

P.T.: BTW, CPUs and GPUs may be so much faster, RAM isn't. That's why browser based software is slow.

What's the big difference between Java and C#?
If you develop for Windows.

C# isn't a dead language, it also doesn't look like shit with every function beginning with a lowercase letter etc etc
