Don't worry his comment is obvious clickbait (complete with a plug for a random blogpost written by him). People that matter (people that are actually writing simd for their day job) can immediately spot a poseur (especially relative to you and Raph).

To be clear, I don't support this. StringZilla is a real and useful project, and its performance is competitive with memchr. They aren't a poser.

(There are reasons to use StringZilla over memchr beyond performance. StringZilla provides a number of interesting string operations beyond just substring search. The memchr crate is far more specialized.)

Thanks, Andrew! Love your work too - keeps me on my toes ;) PS: Hoping to share a few more Rusty bits later this year.
