That certainly convinced me. When I was doing my taxes recently and had to watch those forced loading animations, I kept asking myself "why can't my compiler do this?" Thanks to std::simd, now it can!

isn't that just QoI issues? There's a reason why the libstdc++ folks labelled their implementation as experimental.

It should have been "eight reasons to use std::simd". Inefficient.

This is the first time I've seen a classic for loop called a "boomer loop", but apparently this isn't even the first instance (not the first definition):
