    Fucking do it. Anything that takes down Nvidia’s CUDA Monopoly has my full support.

      As a general rule, don’t use a corporation’s language. Languages, and their reference implementation, should be truly independent.

      Edit: To be clear, programming language.

          Corporation? I’m not anti business, far from it. But I have an interest in economics as well as technology. We need effective markets. CUDA is an example of a market problem caused by a corporation’s own language. It has screwed up competition.

            I mean if anything, look at Velcro and how generalising a term makes it untrademarkeable. Overusing words can and will screw companies.

              He means programming language. Don’t use programming languages that are controlled by a single company. Not “don’t say CUDA when you mean any general purpose GPU programming language”.
