I think he has tried to start a movement against this unwritten law of
computing. I can't recall the name right now though.
Software needed less resources in the 80ies, when we programmed in
Assembler, but in the 80ies it was easy to keep track of things while
programming for Z80, 6502, 6510 and 68000. I guess you Linux guys need
to use C, because the CPUs and kernels have become much more complex.
