I was wonder about what the ARM/M1 support for simd like instructions are. It seems like it will be a while for these simd packages to be as performant on ARM. Is this correct?

ARM has it's own SIMD instruction sets (NEON and SVE) but the intrinsics have yet to be stabilized in Rust, so the Rust SIMD ecosystem is x86-centric for now.

The plan is for Rust to eventually have a portable SIMD abstraction built into the standard library to reduce the need for CPU-specific code.
