the irony in you blasting all over this thread is that you dont know how it even works. You have 0 idea if their claims of scaling linearly are causing bottlenecks in other places as you state, if you read actual docs on this its clear that the actaul "compiler" part of the compiler was put on the backburner while the parallellization was figured out and as that is now done a bunch of optimizations will come in the next year

If you want to bring up CS101 so badly, surely turing machines and lambda calculus would be more relevant.

The actually interesting claim is that somebody has found a practical use for Interaction Combinators as a computing model for putting GPUs to work.
