You wouldn't your project to cost 5 times more than it could just because you've chosen the wrong tools.
Yep, If there were really tools out there that could beat what is in current use by a factor of 5 then they would have won, and once they exist they will win. Because they would have had the time to A) Implement something better. B) Use all that extra time to build an easy migration path so that those on the lesser platform could migrate over.
So where is the processor that is 5x better than x86? Where is the language that is 5x better than C, C++, Java, C#,(whatever you consider to be the best of the worse to be.) I would love to use a truly better tool, I would love to use a processor so blazingly fast that it singed my eyebrows.
This is kind of the point. Current interactive systems tend to do lots of useless things, most of which are not perceptible (except for the delays they cause)
Right because all of us sitting around with our 1/5x tools have time to bang out imperceptible features.
