If I can write (mostly) python code and get it to run on my GPU they can oversell this all they want.

I have a couple of projects I’ve been wanting to tackle but put off because I like python but it wouldn’t be a very good fit due to performance reasons. Now I get a whole new herd of yaks to shave.

Plus, extensible compiler? Who doesn’t want linq in python?

Look at numba, which is not quite but sometimes good enough :)
