How has machine architecture impacted programming language design?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Impact on programming language design by the machine architecture: - 

A computer system's architecture is a way between the pricing of computer hardware on the one side and functional programming capabilities on the other side. The shared effects between computer hardware architecture and programming languages and techniques indicate this trade off. In addition, developments in the development of hardware never have a clear influence on programming language progression. Architecture and programming language design have never been mixed or cooperative systems. It is a general finding that programming languages appear to be more complex and less effective with the enhancement of the value ratio of computer hardware.

However, the complexity and usefulness of programming languages are not influenced by the trends in the development of computer architecture. In their essence, programming languages are being designed to be more sophisticated in line with the development of the complexity of the problem that we prefer to work with. In order to enhance program readability, modularity, and reusability, programmers often have to compromise the functionality of programming languages.
