I have no context. Was that sarcasm ? I have no idea if this is expected or unexpected of Raymond.

Try again? You don't really need context here.

Damn, reader mode doesn't keep the strike, I thought it was an English idiom I didn't know about xD

gcc is gone, like clang. Those are c++ abominations. Not worth more than /opt.
Prefer, tinycc, cproc, scc, assembly.

Sometimes I want to design a simpler C-like language and build toolchain for it from the scratch, with no historical baggage. Obviously optimization story will be very poor, gcc carries hundreds of super-qualified man-years of optimization work. But I wonder if it'll be that bad. Modern computers are fast.
You stopped at the lexicon, check how it's used more thoroughly!
