I’ve seen some terrible horrid nonsense from them and even the best compilers don’t use a third of the opcodes our modern CPUs boast of. Nobody understands the big compilers any more either, they’re all too huge. And soon AI will be “improving” hem too.

You want to see a beautiful compiler? Look at Plan 9’s compiler suite. A man could understand and even build on that.
