I think you will be interested to read this article about the future of data programming in JavaScript (http://benschmidt.org/post/2020-01-15/2020-01-15-webgpu/ http://benschmidt.org/post/2020-01-15/2020-01-15-webgpu/).
I do think that this kind of thing will be able to be built on top of WebGPU (I saw this experimental POC that did so recently: https://github.com/milhidaka/webgpu-blas https://github.com/milhidaka/webgpu-blas). The only issue is that since JavaScript doesn't support operator overloading even if a production-level library was created the code would be a little less readable.
- SavantIdiot 5y agoThis article nails it. While Python is such an elegant language for scientific research, it falls on its face when it comes to packaged applications (and as stated in my other posts, it's awkward async support compared to Node). I realllly hope scientific computing moves into NodeJS, or, Python gets better at asyncio and cross-platform packaging.
