Nim
Nim is a statically typed compiled systems programming language. It combines successful concepts from mature languages like Python, Ada and Modula. Its design focuses on efficiency, expressiveness, and elegance (in that order of priority).

Klong: A Simple Array Language
There's a niche out there where this kind of technology is appreciated. I can even appreciate the technical challenges in making an array language interpreter run fast!
However, unfortunately, the notation is so terse that I can't imagine spending the time to learn this. This looks write-only.
Is there an obvious reason to prefer a k-like language like Klong, over e.g. Futhark[0] or Accelerate[1]?

What about K?
Not exactly the approach your describing, but Futhark[0] offers an alternative to CPU execution, it compiles to CUDA or OpenCL to run on GPU (or multi-threaded CPU).

Bend: The first high-level language that runs natively on GPUs (via HVM2)
Nowadays 210 is actually parallel! You can run 210-style code using MaPLe (https://github.com/MPLLang/mpl) and get competitive performance with respect to C/C++.
If you liked 210, you might also like https://futhark-lang.org/ which is an ML-family language that compiles to GPU with good performance.
