Yes, and that's why Julia gained CUDA support first. My point was to respond to "Why would someone use this instead of plain old OpenCL(or CUDA) with C++?", and my answer was, "you can use something other than OpenCL C or C++". I'm not trying to say that CUDA is any lesser of a platform because of this; instead, other vendor's GPUs are now becoming easier to use and program.
