Hi, I actually mentioned ISPC several times there. And although I strenuously avoided crowning one approach "better" over the other, it is worth pointing out that 1) Many of these benefits of ISPC can be had from explicit SIMD libraries like Google's Highway, and 2) ISPC (or any SIMT model) is a departure from how the underlying hardware works, and as the AI community is discovering with GPU, this abstraction can sometimes be lot more headache than its worth.
