The wikipedia article mentions xenophobia but I think things like OCD/anorexia would be quite interesting in this context.

Why though? 13 year-olds can learn CSS/HTML for their neopets, I get it's scary but this stuff isn't poison.

You can use something like Futhark and link it with your program.

Question: what is the state of GPU compute w.r.t. Rust? Are the libraries on par with accelerate or (not exactly comparable) Futhark?

by vmchale 6y ago
My experience with Futhark (and to some extent accelerate) is that they're not terribly hard to program in applicable cases. I'm not sure Futhark-generated code is as fast as specialist code but it's definitely a speedup comp

>There aren't many things you could say you like about any language that couldn't be sneered at with "lots of languages have that lol". GHC has first-class support for laziness. Rust has affine types.

My impression (not in the field) was that Uber wanted to believe in this out of wishful thinking, and then everyone scrambled because they thought they were going to be left behind.

Much work in the file system and text editor, though. Plenty of sophistication behind it.
