Rust gpu programming is very possible already, but as of my most recent foray into the area it was still very much a black art getting your build environment set up for it. It’s probably just a matter of time before it becomes an easy thing to do. I’ve done a fair bit of mixed Rust + CUDA C++ though, and found it to be a very nice way to build high performance code with safe high-level interfaces that someone can grab and use with little to no understanding of GPU architectures. It’s even pretty straightforward to build wrapper types that leverage Rust’s ownership system to track lifetimes and safe management of device buffers as well (unfortunately I can’t release that code but it really was pretty simple so hopefully someone else will soon do it openly, or by now maybe someone already has)
