I'd like a language that allows me to explicitly annotate my code for vectorization/SIMD. Too often compilers aren't able to vectorize efficiently because the heuristics don't detect the opportunity.

I had a thought on this but it's alot of work for one person and IDK if anyone would use my language for that.

I agree tho. I been learning SIMD and the operations it supports are pretty neat

Doesn’t GCC have annotations for that?
