That benchmark is a great data point, thanks for sharing. The performance parity with unoptimized GCC makes sense, given how much heavy lifting modern LLVM/GCC backends do for C++.

Your approach with Micron and the 'language levels' is particularly interesting. One of the biggest hurdles I face in C++ with these high-density vector tasks is exactly that: balancing the raw 'unsafe' pointer arithmetic needed for SIMD and custom memory layouts with the safety needed for the rest of the application.

Having those features controlled at the module level (like your Micron levels) sounds like a much cleaner architectural 'contract' than the scattered unsafe blocks or reinterpret_cast mess we often deal with in systems programming. I'll definitely keep an eye on the Micron repository—bridging that gap between Wirth-style safety and C-level performance is something the industry is still clearly struggling with (even with Rust's rise).
