> It should be quite easy to see the value of optimizing compilers. Compile your program with optimizations turned off. Now make it as fast as your release build again, while still keeping them off. For much of my code, I think this would take years.

The problem is that, say, C does not allow to express the necessary details about the optimizations that you want to do. This is exactly something DJB calls for in programming languages.
