SGI's compilers provided this feedback back in the 90's. I have been working with domain-specific languages for years but I would have thought what was relatively common back then persisted... In my experience (computationally-intensive numerical simulations), the optimizers helped. Although we had to use a language that was algebra (Fortran derivatives), write C-tran with #pragmas to help out the optimizer or use hand-coded libraries for things like LAPACK.
