Are there any benchmarks on the performance of these new matrix multiplication kernels compared to the Eigen library (ideally for float32)?

Thanks for the feedback! I just extended the comment to touch on the "why" part. :) https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/53f360259ad8e64ca...

Thanks for the feedback! My code snippets in the article don't use any real/existing language. C# for example, is quite explicit with the transformation of generated to state machines, but also does not provide such methods, as far as I know. I've just added a comment explaining this choice: https://github.com/Dobiasd/articles/commit/f44b897f2a4d20aa9...

Thanks! Yeah, that was one of the intentions. :)

The interview for my current job first went mediocre, but by talking about frugally-deep (a side project of mine) I was able to excite my (now) employer. :-)

Hoogle is really amazing!
Inspired by it, I implemented something similar for FunctionalPlus (a functional-programming library for C++): https://www.editgym.com/fplus-api-search/
I'd love to see more projects taking this path too. :)

> I spent some time over those 30 years looking at new IDEs, trying them out, configuring them, and each and every time this was time wasted, because the IDE was discontinued, abandoned, or otherwise became useless.
"wasted" sounds a bit too hard to me. If you learn and use some tool productively for some years, even if this stops, the years were not wasted. Ephemeral things can also have value.
In this (very primitive!) benchmark, MKL was a bit better than eigen (~10%) on my machine (i5-6600).
Since the article https://justine.lol/matmul/ compared the new kernels with MLK, we can (by transitivity) compare the new kernels with Eigen this way, at least very roughly for this one use-case.
