Fortran always has been more 'high-performance' than C/C++ as it doesn't have pointer aliasing (think that C++ introduced restrict, which is the bread and butter of a HPC language only in C++11, same for threading, still no vector types...) for example. ISPC is a HPC language or Julia, Fortran, even Numpy if you want, not D or C or C++" http://c0de517e.blogspot.in/2014/06/where-is-my-c-replacement.html?showComment=1402865174608#c415780017887651116
I had a nice sad 'ha ha' moment when I realized that msvc can't cope with restrict on the pointers feeding into the simd intrinsics; you have to cast it away. So much for that perf :)
