In python, with numpy, you can use `np.vectorize`, there exists a jax equivalent that can enable accelerators to do your parallel stuff. Cuda exists, but it isn't as simple as `parallel-for`. For trivial for-loops, you can use OMP.

Unfortunately np.vectorize doesn’t do anything smart.

From the docs:

The vectorize function is provided primarily for convenience, not for performance. The implementation is essentially a for loop.

Ah right, yes I remember. Perhaps .vmap from pytorch?
