#3Wow, I didn't realize Chapel was still under development, I haven't heard about it since 2011. Its contemporary rival was Fortress from Sun Microsystems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortress_(programming_language...), which does appear to be defunct, both of which are languages intended for highly-parallel computation on supercomputers.

And works on less than super computers.

#5I really like Legion as an alternative for HPC applications, among many others (https://legion.stanford.edu/)

#6If you know Python, you can also use Taichi:
I’d love to see all these communities come together to share ideas with each other even more.

Taichi solves a different problem. It's (mainly) a tensor compiler that targets kernel generation on different architectures, while Chapel is for orchestrating and communicating between computations over distributed memory spaces (and heterogeneous devices).

#8The only viable replacement for Fortran we currently have. The rest are not getting it.

What are C/C++/Zig/etc. missing that Chapel has?

Working in heterogeneous computing environments (and having first-class facilities for that), while still being easy enough to immediately start adapting numerical code from any reference implementation.
