Yeah but the point would be, if you can beat C++ with assembly, then theoretically there can exist a compiler for another language which can compile to that sam

Yeah but the point would be, if you can beat C++ with assembly, then theoretically there can exist a compiler for another language which can compile to that same assembly, meaning C++ isn't at the theoretical limit. Maybe it's a nitpick, but it gives me a little bit of pause to see a statement like this on a language website's page, since it seems to indicate a bit of a weak or sloppy understanding of computer science fundamentals.
