Dear prunedtree,

I know that it's possible to write hand optimized asm code that beats
the output of any C compiler (or C++ or Clay). I would love to
understand specific reasons as to why that is so. Though, I can get
access to any number of examples for super optimized asm code on the
internet, it's very difficult to understand what that asm code
does. It'll be awesome if I can actually talk to the author of the asm
code and understand how it works.

I've always wondered if it's because it's difficiult to express
certain optimizations or is it because of other reasons. If it is
indeed a problem of expressivity then obviously there is scope for new
language features. And I'm really interested in that.

I was wondering if you could help me with that.
