Hmm, I dunno if I can agree with that. It does take quite a bit of
expertise to handle FPGAs and microcontrollers. (note I'm not talking
about "slap an Arduino into a project and call it done" here)

Which harkens back to the NEED to have any
"optimization" include a way to
explicitly over-ride or lockout that aptimizing, when the programmer deems
it to be inappropriate.
How many of today's "glue black boxes together" programmers would
even KNOW when it's appropriate, though? That's the scary part.
