I just wanted to jump in and say you are a huge inspiration, and I likely will become a content creator eventually, as you and some others have deeply inspired me. Your content is amazing, you offer a great in depth understanding of the plan 9 operating system and your videos are a great resource. Keep it up, i wish you and your channel all the success in the world, you are one of the real ones.
I have heard the people who work on the compilers talk about adding in stuff for using SIMD. I haven't kept up with how much they have added or what the use case may be. The OS itself doesn't really need it, but there are people who work with audio and video stuff that probably use it.
the lack of syntax highlighting at all in ACME is .. a choice. I know that Rob Pike is not a fan of syntax highlighting, but I am. our eyes have a lot of processing resources behind them and coloring things take advantage of that to give you information at a glance, literally.
Syntax highlighting in the text editor may be the same mistake as 'sed l'-processing in cat. I'd rather see highlighting implemented as a program that pops up a graphical window colouring whatever your selection in /dev/acme was. The program may be page(1), but a specialised one would allow, for instance, manually colouring regions of interest - which makes the 'do it well' part of 'do one thing and do it well'.

Thank you! And good luck with your own project.
Does the Plan 9 OS have SIMD optimizations? Would it even benefit most of the OS?

Yes, humans are very visually oriented. I suppose Acme could be modified to handle this.
