I do see your point, but that'd be a different language. With the standardised C we have, it's not easy.

The optimizer doesn't work that way. It assumes the code does not do UB and then removes branches that can never be taken if the code executes no UB. That's different from "This is UB, and now I do ...".

The IO of Quark was problematic as well [1]. It's SPI interfaces are basically the same speed as an 8-bit MCU, which is kinda problematic given that SPI is fairly common to push a dozen or two megabit/s (implementation is much, mu

Cannon Lake is supposed to bring them to Intel desktops some time 2017 or 2018. The performance of these is in the 2-3 cpb range per core on Zen.

(Generally speaking I would greatly prefer it if CPython wasn't so reliant on the libc. For example, on a 32-bit system you'll typically find that CPython suffers from y2036 for many date and time operations, including formatting.

The statement misses the point. Linux desktops are not terribly stable and something always crashes sooner or later; that's why all of them ship with watchdogs that restart crashed stuff quickly. The advantage of desktop components tha
