generic simd abstractions are of quite limited use. I'm not sure what's objectionable about the thing Rust has shipped (in nightly) for this, which is more or less the same as the stuff Zig has shipped for this (in a pre-1.0 compiler version).

The issue is that it's sitting in nightly for years. Many many many years.

I don't write software targetting nightly, for good reason.
