There are serious attempts to improve programmer efficiency, but they 
are often met with derision and scorn.

Case in point: I mentioned to one of my instructors that I switched from 
C++ to C#, and his response was, "So you took a step backward, then?"

You get even stronger reactions from people about Visual Basic.  This, 
despite the fact that VB and C# are both designed to *increase* 
programmer efficiency.
