That's totally fine.

Futhark is an offer for people that need high performance code, but could spend their time on better things than writing CUDA/OpenCL code by hand.

Clearly that's not everyone. Maybe you don't need high performance code. Maybe you need to squeeze every last bit of performance out of your GPUs, so you actually need to spend time writing your own CUDA/OpenCL code.

So while it might not be worth it for you, it might be worth it for people trying to solve other kinds of problems :)
