A comment on Haste language. Parent comment
Except for when we don't, because the underlying abstractions sometimes do the wrong thing. Random paper on cache-optimizing and the hassles thereof: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/trishulc/paper...
The challenge is that even the memory abstraction leaks a little, and the network is nowhere near as fast or reliable as the frontside bus: "abstracting away" a 100ms+ link latency and/or nontrivial packet loss means hitting that leak much sooner.
