+# Go — `dev.simd` SIMD toolchain
+
+A build of the Go toolchain from upstream Go's experimental **`dev.simd`** branch
+(targeting Go 1.27), which adds the **`simd/archsimd`** package: portable SIMD
+*intrinsics* you write in plain Go — no cgo, no hand-written assembly. The
+compiler lowers them to real vector instructions on:
+
+- **amd64** — AVX2 / AVX-512
+- **arm64** — NEON
+
+## Why this package
+
+`simd/archsimd` is not in a released Go yet. amd64 support shipped in Go 1.26
+behind `GOEXPERIMENT=simd`; **arm64 (NEON) only exists on the `dev.simd` branch**
+and is slated for Go 1.27. This package lets you **build and benchmark SIMD Go
+code today**, on both amd64 and Apple-Silicon/arm64, before 1.27 is released —
+reproducibly, from a pinned commit.
+
+It is a **pinned snapshot of a moving dev branch**, so it is intentionally
+experimental and version-pinned (see *Versioning*). For released Go, use
+[`go.dev`](https://pkgx.dev/pkgs/go.dev/).
+
+## Usage
+
+This package deliberately does **not** claim the `go` / `gofmt` commands (so it
+never shadows the canonical `go.dev`). Use it explicitly with `+`:
+
+```sh
+# which toolchain is it?
+pkgx +go.dev/dev-simd -- go version          # go version go1.27 ...
+
+# build / run SIMD code (set the experiment flag)
+GOEXPERIMENT=simd pkgx +go.dev/dev-simd -- go build ./...
+GOEXPERIMENT=simd pkgx +go.dev/dev-simd -- go test ./...
+```
+
+A minimal program that uses the intrinsics:
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"fmt"
+
+	"simd/archsimd"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// 4-wide u32 vector add (NEON on arm64, SSE/AVX on amd64)
+	a := archsimd.LoadUint32x4([]uint32{1, 2, 3, 4})
+	b := archsimd.LoadUint32x4([]uint32{10, 20, 30, 40})
+	var out [4]uint32
+	a.Add(b).Store(out[:])
+	fmt.Println(out) // [11 22 33 44]
+}
+```
+
+```sh
+GOEXPERIMENT=simd pkgx +go.dev/dev-simd -- go run .
+```
+
+The `simd/archsimd` package only compiles under `GOEXPERIMENT=simd`; without the
+flag your code uses its normal (scalar) path.
+
+## Versioning
+
+`dev.simd` has no release tags, so each version is a **pinned commit**, named by
+that commit's date in CalVer `YYYY.M.D.HH.MM.SS`:
+
+```sh
+pkgx +go.dev/dev-simd@2026.6.1.17.4.35 -- go version   # a specific snapshot
+```
+
+Newer commits get higher (later-dated) versions, so the latest snapshot is the
+default. The exact upstream commit for each version is recorded in the recipe.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- **Experimental.** `simd/archsimd` is outside the Go 1 compatibility promise;
+  its API can change. This is a dev-branch snapshot, not a Go release.
+- **`GOEXPERIMENT=simd` is required** to compile code that imports
+  `simd/archsimd`.
+- For production, prefer released [`go.dev`](https://pkgx.dev/pkgs/go.dev/) —
+  amd64 SIMD lands in Go 1.26, arm64 SIMD in Go 1.27.
