- nickitolas 7y agoI thought the discussion was around compiler optimizations? That's the point
- dooglius 7y agoI didn't read it as such. The point behind what I and the parent are saying is, the programmer is going to do much better at optimal memory layout than an optimizer can, and C allows manual control while languages which can mess with memory layout necessarily cannot.
