It's about the author's language named Apple[1], took a few seconds since Apple Array System unfortunately sounds like some MacOS framework. For people prefer C-like syntax, there is ispc[2], which supports x86 AVX and ARM Neon programming via LLVM. [1] https://github.com/vmchale/apple [2] https://github.com/ispc/ispc

The big problem with using array languages for lower-level SIMD stuff is that that generally requires some amount of typedness, but tacking on types on an array language without ending up with having types be the majority of the syntax and code (or taking up a ton of mental capacity if utilizing very heavy type inference) would be rather non-trivial. And the operations you want for lower-level ops are quite different from the higher-level general-purpose ones too. (and, of course, some interpreters do make good use of SIMD and/or multithreading) That said, some form of array language more suited for stuff like that is a somewhat common question; maybe one day someone will figure it out. Vanessa McHale is doing some interesting work on a typed compilable array language, Apple[0]. [0]: https://github.com/vmchale/apple/?tab=readme-ov-file#ap
