    that project might be abandoned but this strategy is used in nvidia and nvidia adjacent projects (through llvm):

    >but we also need high level expressibility that doesn't require writing kernels in C

    the above are possible because C is actually just a frontend to PTX

    fundamentally you are not going to ever be able to have a way to write cuda kernels without thinking about cuda architecture anymore so than you'll ever be able to write async code without thinking about concurrency.

    Oh that sounds interesting. Do you know what happened to it?

    I think I found it here: https://github.com/bryancatanzaro/copperhead

    But I'm not sure what the state is. Looks dead (last commit 8 years ago). Probably just a proof of concept. But why hasn't this been continued?
