Sorry I did not formulate my though properly. Let's try this:
Companies that try to use a language/platform combination to isolate the coder from the machine by creating a funnelled dumbed-down common interface and executing environment are pursuing a loose-loose path.
1. the HW evolves faster than the software
2. the coder wants to hack the most out of the hardware
3. the OpenSource community is a paradigm shift for software companies, you can't put the cat back in the bag.
