No, I'm not conflating anything. Your claim was hyperbolic and completely false, and I refuted it.

You're moving the goalpost.

You didn't understand what I meant. I didn't move the goalpost. You understood what I meant only after reading that sentence.

It is hard for one to claim compiler research is affected because of most common implementation language. I don't know why you got that interpretation.

Even GPT3 writes this after getting trained on some HN pages.

Your original claim was: "C/C++ literally killed compiler optimizations research." Your updated claim is: "C++ is [not the] best language for optimizing."
