The article said something about being as good as GCC with O1, is that not enough? Pardon my ignorance, I've never touched c/c++ (python guy).

1. O3 is way better.
2. GCC is not even the best optimizing compiler out there. Intel's C compiler puts GCC to shame for some tasks.
Also, for the vast majority of programs the possibility of bugs in the compiler is not really that impactful in terms of total effect on reliability.
