Call me crazy, but I always felt compilers were there to emit code that reflected what I wrote, not what it thinks it can do a better job writing for me. People complain that Go is not a good systems language due to the garbage collector. Maybe C isn't a good language due to all the places where optimizers are allowed to break code.
