Is it time for a RISPL (Reduced Instruction Set Programming Language)?

Answer 1

I know what RISC is. I guess my question is too vague. I have worked with many different programming languages, all purporting to make programming easier by providing routines to complete common tasks. As I work with them I find that often what I have to do to make the routines function as I need them to is as much or more work than just writing a custom routine. I have seen suggestions in forums that suggest using a library function to complete a task that could be completed with a simple line of code. I sometimes get the impression that the goal of some of the languages is to have a routine, method, or function that will handle every possible problem or question. Since the number of problems is infinite, this means these languages will grow until they become infinitely complex. This is similar to the situation that left to RISC being developed, it was realized that rather than creating processors with a larger instruction set to handle different issues, it was more efficient to trim the instruction

Answer 2

set and streamline how many cycles it took for the processor to handle an instruction. So is it time to take a similar approach to programming languages?
