The x86 intrinsics are so hard to read because of terrible Wintel Hungarian naming conventions that I think it’s quite clearer to write your SIMD in assembly. It’s usually easy enough to follow asm if there aren’t complicated memory accesses anyway. The major issue is not having good enough debug info.
I honestly don't think I've seen native windows code in over 20 years at this point. Obviously there's a ton of C++ out there, it's just basically as far away from me as possible.
