'Bloated high level' languages have their place.

I was also contrasting today's rubbish with "non-bloated" high level languages.

Yesterday's high level languages simply won't produce the sort of applications we are used to seeing now. Given the vast change in bangs per buck over the years, trying to squeeze every last bit out of memory no longer makes economic sense - it's cheaper to just stick more memory in than pay for the extra coding cost.
