I mean, you don’t have to care about this unless you have an application where you do. And if you do there is enough transparency (ie ability to inspect the assembly and ask questions) that you can solve this one issue without knowing everything under the sun. If you had an application where this sort of thing made a difference in JavaScript, the problem would likely still the there, you’d just have a lot less visibility on it. I guess you’re still right - at the end of the day you see discussions like this far more often in C, so it impacts the feel of programming in C more.
