The talk is great and compilers got really good nowadays. Take a look however at this moment https://youtu.be/zBkNBP00wJE?t=1663. Without checking the compilation output constantly you cannot be sure if compiler removed all unnecessary code. This applies also to CC65. Writing His Dark Majesty I didn't really look at what is generated. If I would the computer AI could work at least twice as fast. I had no idea at the time of the overhead added by using structs in CC65.

I think checking assembly for large programs becomes hard sometimes. But there are some people that take a look at it still. One useful exercise is to write a small C++ program with the feature that one wants and check output. In particular, differences between clang, gcc, and visual c++ ).
