When C came out it was considered a high-level language too. ;-) That aside, Haskell is very high-level and gets close to C performance (GHC compiles to machine code, has full type erasure like C or C++ etc). I think it has more to do with the fact that people got complacent and assumed that Moore's Law will work in their favor forever.
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
