agreed. really any performance oriented code would be useful.

god help the kids reading the trash that makes up 99% of the code out there today.

Performance oriented code can be hard to maintain. Writing things in unintuitive ways to try to coerce the compiler into doing fewer instructions can result in code that's harder to read.

There are degrees. I’d be happy to not see code generating millions of medium lifetime garbage objects per request.
