What happened to software? Why is there so few creative software (2010)? Are we at the end of software? What are the forces which led to this situation, looking like a bit step backward to the epoch of non-programmable accounting machines? Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, and a very simple one: make good software. With invention. Developing models and abstractions. It is difficult but absolutely possible. It this re-start of software I wish to explore here in this blog. Welcome

Systems programming language
What is the best "systems" programming language?
Very few mentions of assembler. Lots of mentions of very high level languages features. No consideration to the performance obtained with assembler. Plus simplicity due to direct hardware control.
Only restriction would be the fact that assembler is tied to a specific hardware architecture. However, as of today there are very few distinct architectures, it seems this is a minor nuisance.
Also, good to see a reference to ADA. Also to Lispworks.
Very disturbing several references to C as a low-level language.
