You jest, but you aren't wrong. At least if we are talking about C, C++ or Rust. https://godbolt.org/z/oPPfdfcf5

.NET compiler is weak when it comes to optimizing your code; I assume Go's is as bad.

And I'm not sure if the compiler in any language would change a random check function... The others are a possibility.
