Comments

I think google hires a lot of low-level systems programmers, as should anyone running thousands of datacenters. After all, the power and network savings you can get from bit-twiddling, when multiplied by the number of computers in these networks, is worth quite a lot in dollars.

The have a lot of compiler writers for that reason too.
