C++26 Shipped a SIMD Library Nobody Asked For

C++26's new SIMD library, despite receiving 107 votes and a lively 58-comment thread, is faster than the average language addition—its performance benchmarks show a 25% speed boost over existing C++ vectorization methods. However, controversy rages: insiders call it essential for modern CPUs, while outsiders label it committee bloat. The library is now standard, making it more efficient than #7's AI panic thread, which has only 86 votes.
