    At this point I very much question that handwritten assembly can be more performant than what LLVM-based langs can produce at the highest optimization settings. Compilers are very good at optimization

    Particularly when the "handwritten" code in question is vibecoded, like this is

      It should be more performant if actually handwritten I guess. But just lowering the implementation like this will make it faster than many other apps seemingly for free, but not having the abstractions from e.g. C or C++ will likely make it unmaintainable long term.
