I’m wondering if AI has made SIMD intrinsics much more approachable for many and so there are just more people working on abstractions for their workflow of choice right now. There’s probably a lot of code out there that could benefit from SIMD but the effort to actually use it was too high for the return.

Maybe things being on the front page reminds others? After seeing something, sometimes you can have ideas relating to it for a while.

SIMD is actually underrated still. Programmers should always be thinking about it. It's a free 4x in a lot of cases
