>Moore’s Law has guaranteed a doubling of hardware performance every 18 months for decades. But as processor vendors approach the limits of Moore’s Law, many developers will need to reoptimize their code to continue achieving increased performance.<p>But Moore's law is dead for long time already. I'm using mid-range CPU from 2009 and performance is still reasonable. (while 1999 CPU in 2009 would be rather useless)
Wirth's law is relevant for how software is constantly outrunning hardware.<p>I'm quite pessimistic but I'm sure a lot of stuff involved with os and ui and browsers will have to be thrown away, and built again.<p>The fact that js doesn't really run well on smartphone proves something is wrong.
