It's not more complicated, you have things like CUDA which is basically C/C++ that compiles to GPU.

But GPUs have thousands of cores, which means if you want any benefit, the smallest data type you must use is something like array[n * 1024], or your GPU is wasted doing nothing. So you must shape your programs into that memory model or you're just wasting your time (and GPU).

That's >50% of the problem.
