No, I AM going to write procedural code, and it WILL be faster than your "high IQ" 1 line recursive solution. Also funny to see how little recursion gets used in CUDA/Pytorch/GPU programming - which is what we are seeing to be more and more important over time.
- Vetch 5y agoFunctional programming is a lot more than just recursion and there's nothing about GPUs that precludes an immutable first array based language with functional programming as core. Google Research's Dex is an example.
- cookieater 5y agoSpeaking of functional programming and GPU's - check out Futhark :D. Very on the fringe but very interesting.
