Your opinions on Bend
A massively parallel, high-level programming language - HigherOrderCO/Bend
New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What's your opinions on it so far?
You're viewing a single thread.
It seems like Fortran except it’s python syntax and it’s weakly typed so you will get into type checking hell if you use any library which tries to be fancy and create their own types.
Outside of the syntax though: The speedups look really cool!
I’m curious to see what potential speedups would look like in a large project.
Additionally, I’m curious to see what the power requirements are for programs written in it since it seems like it will highly parallelize all statements in the language.
I also wonder how soon it will be for someone to implement a deadfish / bf / lisp interpreter in it
