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.
- KS
