Seems like a nice win even if it just does the example they have:

    void matmul(Matrix2DFloat A, Matrix2DFloat B, Matrix2DFloat C, int size) {
      for (@Parallel int i=0; i<size; i++) {
        for (@Parallel int j=0; j<size; j++) {
          float sum = 0f;
          for (int k=0; k<size; k++)
            sum += A.get(i,k)*B.get(k,j);
          C.set(i, j, sum);
        }
      }
    }
But the elephant in the room is the Vector API. Is that going to end up like logging - a standardised API nobody uses because it came 10 years late to the party and isn't as good as what was already established?

And why confuse everybody by calling it a VM when it ships as a JAR file that runs in an existing VM?
