Absolutely. Since it is clear that compilers cannot produce good code for the next few generations of IA-64...

Re: "What does it take to make one a TRAINED IA 64 PROGRAMMER? Are you suggesting that they learn IA-64 assembly?"

I'm sure some IA64 assembly language techniques will be learned by some.

Any problem with that?

It's the sad truth. Unless you hand code each line of code in assembler, Itanium performance is terrible.

The good news is, the economy will need several billion additional programmers if a switch is made to IA-64....
