Although I don't have personal need to go for such a performance, it was very interesting to listen to the presentation just to learn about something under the hood. And one never knows when we can use it - that is when/if it is available. Nice presentation, clear explanation.

There is at least one other reason to know about these new technology.
In the future, you may have an opportunity to use a library that takes advantage of these features. And it will be good to have some insight on how is it that a library may perform better than others.
