agree not related to the rust to cuda compiler, you are right! But I have to say worth to look at upcoming new stuff, as this is kind a wow rust on good old CUDA.

TileLang https://github.com/tile-ai/tilelang and stuff like Tile Kernels https://github.com/deepseek-ai/TileKernels will make CUDA obsolete one day.

Wolfgang and me introduced the concept of the SPDX-License-Identifier, see https://spdx.dev/learn/handling-license-info/ also landed within the Kernel later, beside of many things we did for our stuff at Siemens, upstream first such as https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/tree/master/board/siemens
Re:Mourning Wolfgang Denk, creator of the U-Boot bootloader on Tuesday October 25, 2022 @06:57PM (#33337319)
I still remember the first time when I collaborated with Wolfgang. He was such a kind and open minded person with a such a great value system.

Together with the amazing Denx crew we upstreamed all our custom CPU modules to the U-Boot source code. We also collaborated on the 2038 support within glibc, Linux Kernel and of course U-Boot.

I still remember when I did a demo of GitLab and Travis CI to Wolfgang and of course we also exchanged on personal topics such as nice restaurants in Usedom.

Once I explained Wolfgang about the pain of license compliance and shared the idea to use SPDX-License-Identifier. He agreed on solving this at the source code level like engineers would do and he made https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commit/eca3aeb352c964... in 2013. Nowadays, this ended up within Linux Kernel and many other widely used open source projects.

He was a real pioneer and I'm so sad he passed away. I will always remember and wish all the best to family and friends!
