thank God, Pytorch gained so much momentum before this came out, Now we have a true platform independent semi standard For parallel computations. We are not stuck with NVIDIA specifics.

It's great that parts of pie torch which concern the NVIDIA backend can now be implemented in Python directly, The important part that it doesn't really matter or shouldn't matter for end users / Developers

that being said, maybe this new platform will extend the whole concept of on GPU computation via Python to even more domains like maybe games.

Imagine running rust the Game performantly mainly on the GPU via Python

This just makes it much, much easier for people to build numeric stuff on GPU, which is great.

I'm totally with you that it's better that this took so long, so we have things like PyTorch abstracting most of this away, but I'm looking forward to (in my non-existent free time :/ ) playing with this.
