Optimizing a Rust GPU matmul kernel
I'm not familiar with GPUs specifically, but I have seen this for ORMs that support multiple SQL dialects (e.g. [0]).
A great technique is called 'tagless final encoding' [1]. Using this technique, you can specify capabilities of an embedded domain-specific language (eDSL) such that you can have a shared (but narrow) common set of features, while allowing specializations of this eDSL to support extra features.

How can database libraries be compared to each other?
One anecdotal opinion from a rando reddit user: I prefer beam despite the boilerplate and more complex types because of the authors make a serious attempt at sql-standards compliance: https://github.com/haskell-beam/beam
- A more functional approach
