Jim Keller criticizes Nvidia's CUDA, x86

If you are implying we are at the mercy of a few CUDA experts because we can't efficiently write it ourselves, you would be correct.

Triton does seem way more approachable as something I'd like to pick up.

Hence why NVidia is also investing into GPUs JITs for Python.

One advantage of CUDA, that Khronos/AMD/Intel realized too late, was the polyglot support that NVidia started to push and support since CUDA 3.0.

I hear you say this over and over again, but honestly AMDs OpenCL implementations used to be unusable garbage.

That in top of everything else, with OpenCL stuck in 1990's tooling.
