Actually, for performance, it can help a lot (in the HPC world) if you
have software control of data movement. I can dig up some citations if
you are interested.

I would argue that a good programming language for HPC applications
would let programmers know when they are about to do something
expensive. Communication is way more expensive than arithmetic, no?
