Hey man, awesome stuff. Surely any JIT compiler will struggle to vectorize something using IntStream.range, though? Looking at matmul, I'd not expect that to be auto-vectorized. The Panama API can be used to do a matmul vectorization, too bad it seems to never launch.

Panama is now in its third preview in the soon-to-be-released JDK 21:

Is there any indication that it won't go from there to a final release soon?

That's only for the FFI I think. The vector API has been incubated six times now and is waiting for Valhalla :(
