   "If you came for readable code, sorry, branchless programming is   
   basically code golf with caffeine ...   
      
   "By rewriting conditional logic into arithmetic and bit operations, or   
   using CPU instructions like cmov, we let the CPU chew through code   
   without pausing to guess. It’s smoother, faster, and often more   
   deterministic, which is crucial in performance-critical or   
   side-channel-resistant scenarios (looking at you, cryptography)."
