Reaching for SIMD intrinsics or an abstraction has been historically quite painful in C and C++. But cross-platform SIMD abstractions in C#, Swift and Mojo are changing the picture. You can write a vectorized algorithm in C# and practically not lose performance versus hand-intrinsified C, and CoreLib heavily relies on that.
