I am really enjoying the language, the level of improvement over the last few months has been amazing. At work all our heterogeneous compute needs are implemented using C++/CUDA. I've been exploring new languages for the type of work we do on and off over the last few years: Julia, Rust, D, Chapel, and Mojo. It seems the only new languages serious about native heterogeneous compute are: Julia, Chapel, and Mojo.

Of those languages I can say Mojo and Chapel were the most impressive. But Mojo is just so fun to write, I've ported a bunch of my "hobby numerical code" to Mojo. I am practically all in on Mojo since it'll give me access to MLIR.

I have always wondered though, why does Chapel get no love online???

Most likely because HPC isn't cool for TikTok videos, by language influencers.

As CERN alumni, and language nerd, I find Chapel quite cool.

eech. i don’t want to use a language made by people who take advice from, let alone watch, tiktok influencers.

Bad news, you aren't having many left, given how much content being made across social media platforms, not only Tiktok.
