    here is writing a similar kernel in python with numba: https://github.com/ContinuumIO/gtc2017-numba/blob/master/4%2...

    I think the contrast is less about the language, and more about the scope and objective of the project. the blog is describing low-level interfaces in python - probably more comparable is the old CUDAdrv.jl package (now merged into CUDA.jl): https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDAdrv.jl/blob/master/examples/...

    Closest thing to mind is Numba's cuda JIT compilation : https://numba.pydata.org/numba-doc/latest/cuda/index.html

    Then you have Cupy : https://github.com/oulgen/CudaPy

    But in my opinion, the most future proof solutions are higher level frameworks like Numpy, Jax and Tensorflow. TensorFlow can JIT compile Python functions to GPU (tf.function).
