I mean, AVX was buggy itself in plenty of hardware for a very long time, it’s not only on the software side.

- neonsunset 2y agoDo you know which CPU cores was it buggy in for a very long time? The ones that everyone uses had flawless support for more than a decade. In either case, I don't see how that disproves the argument that support of hardware features like AVX in a runtime comparable to JVM can be done well. (though I'm biased to say low-level features are a weak point of JVM and a strong point of .NET, you don't have to sacrifice high-level convenience in other areas to get that)
