The scariest things about HLLs is just how easy it is to get out-of- 
touch with which constructs are or aren't efficient.  We've got a  
prejudice against C++ (over C) for that reason, and I guess the  
classic example for asm vs C is "printf("Hello World");" (where use  
of printf() causes a huge library (or set of libraries) to get added  
to your program.)
