You could convert ~800 lines of scalar float processing templated C++ code that used mixins for wrapping logic and float/double to well-optimised SIMD code for two different ISAs (without using wrapper class helpers, it wrote the full intrinsics) in under 5 minutes and write tests for them at the same time?
It's the time compression I'm impressed with.
This is a sifferent point than what the thread started with (speed vs. correct output for hard problems). Yours stands, but it changed the direction of the discussion as I understand it. Hence the pushback.
