And we all know that autovectorisation is hit-and-miss at best.

I wonder if there will be a new C-like language that has portable SIMD-like capabilities in the same sense that "C is a portable assembly language".

Maybe we can get get more benefits if we invest more resources in optimizing compilers than in inventing yet another Javascript framework?

Another one is SyCL: https://www.khronos.org/sycl/ the SIMD part is OpenCL, SyCL provides scheduling/memory transfer on top.

There is - Intel SPMD Program Compiler. https://ispc.github.io/

But does that work on AMD ?
