So I supposed that would be ideally written in some kind of
Slang dialect. I'm sadly still not there yet where you would need the
Cuis Slang stuff to be. The current state is to generate a basic header,
the rough module representation and have some UI integration. What
you would need better support for newer interpreter proxy versions
and also representing them in the VM.

How would SIMD written in Slang look like? Maybe even going the
way of re-implementing Nile?
