Programming language to use with an infinitely fast CPU
Hi all, I've posted this elsewhere on the web, but it's always good to get another opinion on such an interesting topic.
Assuming CPU/memory/bandwidth/latency speed were no barrier, which programming language would be best to use?
What could such an ideal language look like? Would it be something like OO styled BASIC, or something declarative perhaps?
Perhaps logic programming would be the best way to go, so that the solution is defined, rather than the steps needed to reach the solution. Would imperative programming still be useful at this point? (I'm guessing yes).
Could one go to an even higher level of programming? Is Logic programming (aka Prolog) in one sense, the highest level language there is?
