Odin doesn't have CUDA-like GPU interoperability, so the benefits are going to be purely client-side. If you were working in say OpenCL + C the benefits are more obvious, with CUDA you're not going to get an analogous experience.

I would say in my experience that Odin is definitely preferable as a client language for the simple reason that it's a nicer systems programming environment than other languages, but it's not (at least right now, future developments could always change this) equipped to run native GPU code.

Things like SPIR-V and "shader ASM" open up some interesting possibilities once the custom backend is implemented, but the complexity of integrating GPU execution means making it a first-class feature it probably unlikely.
