I'd actually rather just have the compiler give some guarantees on producing SIMD code when you write regular C++ code doing sums, multiplications, etc... in a particular way. And perhaps add a few more operators/keywords to the language for modern CPU instructions (we got things like popcount, countl_zero and fma, but what about e.g. pext, pdep, aes, ...)
