>Um, except that coherent planes/tiers of abstraction is the foundation of robust software engineering. You write languages to a spec; compiler authors emit bytecodes for another spec; hardware engineers optimize transistors and lay traces on silicon to meet yet another spec. Etc.
Except that we talk about stuff that should be in the same level of abstraction in the first place. It's not about writing a compiler or OS in Python, or using Python for CPU microcode.
It's about writing the numerical routines in a scientific/statistics package in the same language that you write the core business logic, etc.
