I still don’t understand why we lack a language that will take uncomplicated computation heavy code and turn it into SIMD / multi thread / multiprocessing / GPU code with minimal additional syntax.

Surely this is the sort of thing compiler / language design nerds dream about?

It doesn’t have to guarantee efficiency or provide cutting edge performance in any context … it should just exist!

My understanding is that we can make such a language … but it’s not caught the fancy of someone who could do it
