    @Evinceo there’s code generation, and there’s optimization decisions. Optimization problems often have the property that their correctness is easily checked, but choosing the best one is hard. Register allocation is the easy-to-understand example – if modeled as graph coloring, an incorrectly colored graph is trivial to detect.

    So, sadly, not silly enough.
