even putting aside how rust ownership semantics map poorly onto gpu programming, ml researchers will never learn rust, this will never ever happen...

  GPGPU programming != ML.

  While I agree in principle, CUDA is more than only AI, as people keep forgetting.
  • taminka 2y ago
    everyone else who uses cuda isn't going to learn rust either
    • pjmlp 2y ago
      First Rust needs to have tier 1 support for CUDA, in a way that doesn't feel like yak shaving when coding for CUDA.

  ML reachers don’t write code, they ask ChatGPT to make a horribly inefficient, non-portable notebook that has to be rewritten from scratch :)

    It's made easier by that notebook only having to work just once, to produce some plots for the paper/press release/demo.

  The ML researchers are relying on libraries written by someone else. Today, those libraries are mostly C++, and they would benefit from Rust same as most other C++ codebases.

  I don’t think this is true. It seems to me more that nobody has put in a serious effort to make a nice interface build using Rust.
