You said yourself at the end "any high level language"... what they are saying is that people nowadays don't program in low-level or assembly language, so you backfired there.... and as posted below you, he didn't invented this he used a technique know by a lot of his peers.

He does crunch assembly, they all had to back in the day.  He worked with Michael Abrash, who wrote the books on optimizing assembly programming in 3D graphics engines, so no he is not some high level scripting monkey like some people here want to make him out to be.
