One thing that I think this will mean is the end of blas. Blas served us well for about 50 years, but one of the big problems it has is that it leads to code that takes multiple passes over memory. I think the future lies in systems that do code generation to better fuse loops of arbitrary code together. LoopVectorization.jl for example is able to generate blas level code for arbitrary computation, and as such can often be faster than blas since you don't have to use one of the specific hand optimized kernels.
