    I have been following it for quite some time, and it really looks taking off among some HPC centers.

    It is also relevant that they adopted an affine like type system for resource management, in similar vein with other languages following these kind of approaches, with focus on productivity and not as rigid as Rust's current approach.

    It ranked high in the floating point benchmarks the late John Walker used to publish in his site: https://www.fourmilab.ch/fbench/fbench.html

    It's interesting that it's parallel-computing focused. That focus seems important going forward. I wonder what other languages will continue to innovate on that theme
