In any case, isn't it the job of the compiler to unroll loops?
Why
should the coder have to do this himself? Unless of course
he's using a
thin shitty wrapper over assembly language that claims falsely
to be a
high-level language - i.e. C.
It was a high-level language at the time it was created.
Quite possibly. But the definition of "high level" has since
changed, and C no longer qualifies. Yet proponents of C/C++
continue to froth at the mouth and claim it's a decent language.
Why is D so awesome? Because it's not C.
