Harlan: a Language That Simplifies GPU Programming

hypnosec writes "Harlan – a declarative programming language that simplifies development of applications running on GPU has been released by a researcher at Indiana University. Erik Holk released his work publicly after working on it for two years. Harlan's syntax is based on Scheme – a dialect of LISP programming language. The language aims to help developers make productive and efficient use of GPUs by enabling them to carry out their actual work while it takes care of the routine GPU programming tasks. The language has been designed to support GPU programming and it works much closer to the hardware." Also worth a mention is Haskell's GPipe interface to programmable GPUs.

Dude, just because you don't know how to write good lisp doesn't mean others can't. Nor do you seem to understand how to write a decent dsl in lisp or that you can make the syntax anything that you want including the mess you wrote at the end. I feel like gouging my eyes out looking at what you wrote. It's the lisp strawman again.
