Yes, and the new kid in town, slang has more chances of adoption.
sorry, could you link to the project? Seems there are quite a few languages called slang.
I guess he might mean this one https://shader-slang.org/ though at first glance at least it looks more graphics than GPGPU oriented.
Edit: Hmm, this part of the same project looks general purpose-y and apparently integrates with PyTorch https://slangpy.shader-slang.org/en/latest/
Yes that is the one, and all shader languages also support compute as well, not only graphics.
Thanks yes. Though I did not mean the bare possibility, but intended use case, which may lead to different design choices.
