This is an awesome achievement. I am not so sure how you made it 4x slower than C … since it strikes me that you have 1:1 mapping to asm, perhaps vector benchmarks are unfair for this kind of comparison.

To those who criticize use of LLM in projects like yours, I demur - where there are productivity gains to be had, LLMs can make small niche FOSS projects like yours more viable and less drudgery.

I prefer a concise language btw:

  say “hello, raku”;
  say (0, 1, *+* ... *)[10];

This is more by way of saying let 1000 flowers bloom.

(The main strength of Raku is its built in Grammars https://slangify.org)
