The vast proliferation of programming languages in the past decade has created a rich environment for experimentation with programming language features. The programming language community has learned much about programmers' preferences and about specific features that are attractive to certain domains of computing. The community has also discovered that some features that are attractive to programmers do incurr a significant performance cost by limiting the ability of code generators and optimizers to produce efficient code. However, very few studies have attempted to connect language features with compiler optimization techniques and hardware design.

在过去的十年中，编程语言的大量涌现为编程语言特性的实验创造了丰富的环境。编程语言社区已经了解了很多关于程序员的偏好和对某些计算领域有吸引力的特定功能的信息。社区还发现，一些对程序员有吸引力的功能确实会通过限制代码生成器和优化器生成有效代码的能力来产生显著的性能成本。然而，很少有研究试图将语言功能与编译器优化技术和硬件设计联系起来。
