Pretty sure Pharo has had GPU-support for a long time, and there's RoarVM for "manycore" applications in Smalltalk.

For highly parallel general-purpose computations? Tell us more!

As-already stated in this discussion RoarVM "hasn't been touched in over 10 years". This discussion is about the Pharo 12 release and supposedly RoarVM is "compatible with Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.2 ".
Kinda weird to move the goal posts like this.
How else is GPU-support for a programming language to be understood other than that you can write GPU shaders/kernels in it?
The goal posts started at "the multicore + GPU party."
For example: "Optimizing Machine Learning Performance at Netsuite with GraalVM and NVIDIA GPUs"

Meanwhile the nasty statically type checked languages lowered the pain level with non-nullable and type inference for local vars.
