I support that effort. In the meantime, we have to do what we have to do. I'm presently in the process of optimizing some stuff and comparing the improvements of SIMD vs GPU on both ARM and x86 (this isn't that impressive, it's some basic loop vectorization). But just as Linus writes in that post, getting the compiler to do well seems impossible.
I'm measuring performance improvement and energy consumption reduction. The results are incredible. We really have to do this stuff. But it's complicated and the documentation is generally awful. So yes, a new language that deals with all of this would be very, very welcome :)
