FWIW, the "Get OxCaml" page actually says that SIMD on ARM isn't supported yet. If it actually works it would be worth removing that from the known issues list https://oxcaml.org/get-oxcaml/

Indeed, it says that because we don't have a library of NEON intrinsics (like ocaml_simd_sse) yet, but the extension itself works.

Ah, that clears it up a bit. Thanks! Looking forward to all of this. (For the interested readers, here's the SSE library: https://github.com/janestreet/ocaml_simd/tree/with-extension...)

Cool to hear there aren't any technical blockers to add Windows support! You just convinced me into giving OxCaml a try for a hobby project. 128-bit SSE is likely to be enough for my use case and target specs.

David Allsopp had an oxcaml branch compiling on Windows a few months ago, so it’s in the queue…

This is so cool.
