Let's take the argument further

Imagine if some fellow said: "People should write only machine code (i.e. a string of hex values); after all, bad code is bad code, whatever its form, and in C you can still lose track of the execution point. Especially (but not limited to) if your code is full of GOTOs or it is very complex". The answer is obvious: don't use GOTOs and do not write complex code. Now imagine if you tried to have a meaningful discussion with a huge fan of machine code programming, who dismissed "modern" facilities such as pointers, variable names or structs. Or source code files. Or labels...

The real question (whatever die-hard C fans say) is: should we go even further, and create new languages with even more advanced facilities; or would it limit the expressivity of programmers too much? Where is that limit?
