Actually the FP fanboys, all the way back to those IBM mainframes where Lisp ran.
Even C abstracts the machine, the ISO C standard is written for an abstract machine, not high level Assembly like many think it is.
Abstracting the maching is wonderfull, it means that my application, if coded properly, can scale from a single CPU to a multicore CPU + coupled with GPGPU, distributed across a data cluster.
