Two unrelated things found recently on Reddit:
In Java 8 they have added type annotations:

This shows how a C-like language lacks some essential parts to use well
the CPUs (both x86 and to ARM) to implement range integrals or
multi-word integrals efficiently without using asm:

I tend to have some fun pointing out on online forums like HN, that
despite common belief, it is 100% ANSI/ISO compliant to have C and C++
compilers that don't expose inline assembly, cpu intrisics and that
those languages no longer map directly to modern CPUs architectures like
they did in the 70's.
