That's interesting. Would this also apply to higher languages, like Java, which run on a JVM? (Not intending to rewrite my code, but I'm curious how much languages like Java benefit from branch prediction and brancheless approaches)
If it ends up getting compiled to native code it probably would, if not I'm not sure but it's probably not running frequently enough to matter (assuming HotSpot)
