> People have trained themselves to think in the Python (or js or java or etc etc) mental model while remembering that it doesn't map to what actually happens 100% People have NOT made that leap for C because people still labor under the delusion that their CPU is a fast PDP-11.
I don't see this, I worked on high performance software and everyone is aware that the CPU isn't just a fast PDP-11. This was before 2018, so teaching C programmers about their language isn't the point of the article, everyone who needs to care about performance already knows these things.
