Recently out as 1.0 stable and few days later open sourced:
There are only three ways to tackle these problems. Let’s briefly evaluate the pros and cons of each:
Extend an existing language like C++, Rust, Julia, Swift:
Pro: You get an existing implementation and community.
[true]Con: None of these languages support the hardware features we need—they were designed for CPUs. They are also all 10+ years old, don’t provide the modern metaprogramming features we need, and weren’t designed to support hardware features required for AI (such as float6).
Yes, designed for CPUs, like most languages, maybe unfair to say only designed for, or at least only useful for.

[Is discourse incredibly slow for anyone else, like typing in (copy/paste was instant), while other sites ok? With Firefox 155 at least. I had strange problems before the update, that got fixed, though possibly extension related, and I now run in safe mode.
Looking into way, likely related (though was seeing before the update then not slowing down):
$ firefox --safe-mode
