> C compilers don’t produce 100% optimal assembly language in all cases, but typically the assumptions they make are light. The executable code they output is somewhat predictable

Lol, since when? C compilers literally will run some of your code at build time, and only write the results into the binary and they do all sort of crazy "mental gymnastics" to make people believe it is still a dumb single-pass compiler.
