This is a small thing and probably not very publicly visible, but I'm really happy with the progress we've made on the libgit2 module in Base.

Wow! Thanks for the CUSPARSE.jl shoutout (I'm the maintainer of that package)!

I must take issue with "near complete" - CUSOLVER.jl, my other CUDA wrapper, is missing a lot of the RF (refactorization) functionality and doesn't really have a pretty high level API yet. The doc and testing situation is also pretty bad. Everyone else's packages in JuliaGPU (the overarching GPU org on GitHub) are in a much better state.

You are right, though, that writing CUDA bindings in Julia is very easy - so easy that I can do it! It's also thanks to packages like Clang.jl, which make it easy for us to automate the procedure of wrapping the low-level interfaces.

Finally I must add the caveat that although I should test CUSPARSE.jl and CUSOLVER.jl with MPI (and GPUDirect) I've been extremely busy recently and not able to do so. If anyone wants to help out in this regard I would be very appreciative!
