In fairness, the ability to restructure at will probably does make it easier to improve things.


The fact that the upper parts of the stack are so commoditized (i.e. CUDA and WGSL do not in fact represent particularly different modes of computation, and of course the linked article shows that you can drive everything pretty well with scalar rust code) argues strongly against that. Things aren't incompatible because of innovation, they're incompatible because of expedience and paranoia.


Improve things for who?


Pretty sure they mean improve performance; number crunching ability.


In consumer GPU land, that's yet to be observed.
