I really have to remember to subtitle for the sense-of-humour
impaired.  Missing subtitle today: Hyperbolie.

Yes, I'm aware there were languages between Assembler and C.  The
subtly implied point is that just because something is currently

more efficient means come along.

Gee, jokes really /aren't/ as funny when they require explaining ...
