wait what’s the point of a no-op loop

or just trolling compilers

idk maybe for obfuscation?

but why would you need that

i guess so

that’s the smallest possible?

that’s it?

like a do-nothing loop?

it was a no-op loop

nope

like a single instruction?

what’s the smallest program you’ve seen it make

okay but seriously though

🦸

saves the day

fights bloated code

superoptimizer sounds like a superhero

i just like the name

idk ask the geniuses

wait but how does it work

like my phone’s storage after i delete one photo

i love tiny things

wild

but for already compiled code

yeah kinda

so like a tiny compiler?

it’s like a program that makes programs smaller

lol idk

wait what even is a superoptimizer

yo who’s down for a deep dive
