For NVidia it suffices this is a Python JIT allowing programming CUDA compute kernels directly in Python instead of C++, yet another way how Intel and AMD, alongside Khronos APIs, lag behind in great developer experiences for GPU compute programming. Ah, and Nsight debugging also supports Python CUDA Tiles debugging. https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/simplify-gpu-programming-w...

Slang is a fantastic developer experience.

Especially when using the tooling from who created it, before offering it to Khronos as GLSL replacement, NVIDIA.

I did it in three. I selected it in your comment, and then had to hit "more" to get to the menu to ask Google about it, which brought me to https://www.google.com/search?q=MLIR which says: MLIR is an open-source compiler infrastructure project developed as a sub-project of the LLVM project. Hopefully Get better at computers and stop needing to be spoon-fed information, people!

In this day and age, asking questions about what something is is a minefield of “just ask AI” and “You should know this”. Let’s stop putting down people who ask questions and root out those that have shitty answers.

I get why it feels frustrating when someone snaps "just google it." Nobody likes feeling dumb. That said, there’s a meaningful difference between asking a genuine question and demanding that every discussion be padded to accommodate readers who won’t even type four letters into a search bar. Expecting complete spoon-feeding in technical threads isn’t curiosity; it’s a refusal to engage. Learning requires participation.

You're posting a spirited defense of substandard technical writing. Just curious -- why is that?

Writing this in Mojo would have been so much easier

It would help if they were not so much macOS and Linux focused.

Julia, Python GPU JITs work great on Windows, and many people only get Windows systems as default at work.

Google is nearly 30 years old

You cannot explain everything to everyone all the time. Besides, this is not even a paper. Sometimes you are not the target audience and have to put some words into Google.

It's barely gaining adoption though. The lack of buzz is a chicken and egg issue for Mojo. I fiddled shortly with it (mainly to get it working some of my pythong scripts), and it was suprisingly easy. It'll shoot up one day for sure if Latner doesn't give up early on it.

Isn't the compiler still closed source? I and many other ML devs have no interest in a closed-source compiler. We have enough proprietary things from NVIDIA.
