I am really enjoying the language, the level of improvement over the last few months has been amazing. At work all our heterogeneous compute needs are implemented using C++/CUDA. I've been exploring new languages for the type of work we do on and off over the last few years: Julia, Rust, D, Chapel, and Mojo. It seems the only new languages serious about native heterogeneous compute are: Julia, Chapel, and Mojo.

Of those languages I can say Mojo and Chapel were the most impressive. But Mojo is just so fun to write, I've ported a bunch of my "hobby numerical code" to Mojo. I am practically all in on Mojo since it'll give me access to MLIR.

I have always wondered though, why does Chapel get no love online???

Most likely because HPC isn't cool for TikTok videos, by language influencers.

As CERN alumni, and language nerd, I find Chapel quite cool.

eech. i don’t want to use a language made by people who take advice from, let alone watch, tiktok influencers.
