First of all, awesome work. It's great to see that it's possible to match or even exceed the performance of hand-crafted assembly implementations with generic code. I would suggest adding more information on how the Eigen results were obtained. Unlike OpenBLAS, Eigen performance does often

First of all, I am pleasantly surprised by the rapid influx of helpful responses. The community here seems quite wonderful. In the interests of not cluttering the thread too much, since the advice given here has many commonalities, I will only try to respond once to each type of suggestion.

I've been vaguely aware of D for many years, but the recent addition of std.experimental.ndslice finally inspired me to give it a try, since my main expertise lies in the domain of scientific computing and I primarily use Python/Julia/C++, where multidimensional arrays can be handled with a
