Huh? I never mentioned self-optimizing compilers, and you never mentioned FOR loops.
I usually view this particular issue in terms of refactoring—not compilation—since refactoring is more obviously a continuous iterative process operating on an evolving codebase: whereas you can’t compile a compiled version of a program very many times.
Anyway, this just seems like an evasion of the point—and a digression into trivia.
If you have any kind of case to make that machines will suddenly develop the ability to reprogram and improve themselves all-at-once—with the histories of compilation, refactoring, code wizards and specification languages representing an irrelevant side issue—I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be interested to hear about it.
