Most "abstractions" hard-wired in thin client languages have a technical cost and
a "I want to write the least complex programs with a maximum abstractions constructs to
feel smart" cost (the human factor). It seems that, when some peers are told
their lovely "abstractions" are kind of "not worth their cost", they start
insulting the disagree-ing peers with the "we'd would be writing assembly".
Writing assembly, in the right context, is very good thing.
I did write assembly (68000 and x86, the ez ones), some programs of significant and
different sizes. Some people pushed it even harder with a small OS (menuet OS).
I am pretty sure many of the originators of such an insult have no idea of what
significant features a simplistic thin client language like Java 7 brings on top of raw
assembly and why it is doing too much already.
