alt Hacker NewsPersonally I really don't want new GPU languages that do not have AD as a first class citizen. I mean rust is an improvement over C++ CUDA but still.

Sorry, what is AD in this context?
edit: oh, automatic differentiation?

This isn't a new GPU language; it's a lib which might replace FFI and third party libs.

Really hard to find alternatives to Julia for AD as a first class citizen

every GPU related post has a comment which makes my eyes roll all the way back. this is the one for this post.
There is actually work on adding autodiff to Rust, maybe not really first class citizen, but at least build in: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/autodiff/index.html (it is still at a pre-RFC stage so it is not something that soon will be added)
