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.

Didn't said he is... But when proving a point you shouldn't use proofs that invalidate your point or are indiferent... His argument about the Man "C" hability being proof of being "as metal as you can go in high level programing" being equal program in assembly or as you said "crunch assembly" would be like saying Michael Jordan would be a great Baseball Player because he were the God of Basket, and you know what happened.

@Kynes: Don't know if he is the second coming... and i sure would like to be as rich or to make games as good as he... but this don't make him always right (and i won't disagree or agree with him... but i'll wait for a better game that is what matters in the end)... and i was talking your justification that wasn't spot on.
