I'm not sure if I'm allowed to promote my own (relevant) articles on here, please let me know. I have a series of blogs about my takes on technology and a work in progress series on how to get computers to count really fast.

I liked your article, personally I like seeing authors able to see discussion of their work too, so in my opinion self promotion here is good.

I do think we are trying things with software now that were impossible before, which also plays a role. But then again, RollerCoaster Tycoon 2 is basically a perfect game, and it's written in incredibly performant assembly code, so we should still ask for more if RCT2 can show us near perfection years ago.

RCT and RTC2 are pinnacles of optimization but I understand why we don't code in assembly anymore. Still, C++ with a little care can still be very fast.
