You're sticking your toe in a very big lake, and this isn't the right forum to meaningfully talk about it.
(I don't mean this in any way negatively, but your two posts have a distinct whiff of Help Vampire - https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19665/the-help-vampire-problem https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19665/the-help-vamp... - just a tiny chunk of information, and a naive question where you'd need years to properly survey the knowledge. It's a big topic and you need to be goal directed to get anywhere IMO.)

They were open-ended questions but I don't think they were incoherent. I've read the source code of certain programming language virtual machines and have seen optimizations both simple and complex. For a long time I've been wondering if there was a set of basic optimizations every developer could apply to their language and get significant improvements with little difficulty. I don't have a project I need help with, I was just curious. I certainly don't think I'm entitled to answers or attention. If I offended anybody, I apologize. My intent was to spawn a discussion. > this isn't the right forum to meaningfully talk about it What is the correct place?
