I don’t think this needed to be parallelized.

I don’t understand why this is a useful effort. It seems like a solution in source of a problem. It’s going to be incredibly easy to end up with hopelessly inefficient programs that need a full redesign in a normal gpu programming model to be useful.

This is an interesting line in the readme:

> The language forces clarity — not ceremony.

I find this statement curious because a language, like this, without ability to build abstractions forces exactly the opposite.

In my mind, cad that you’re not going to manufacture is “modeling”. Not sure if that’s a common verbal distinction.

Breps. Nearly all commercial cad packages operate on boundary representations of objects.

Unfortunately, using a geometry kernel [1] that operates on triangle meshes means this is a no-go for serious CAD usage.

I don’t think it’s falsifiable until there are autism diagnostics that aren’t behavioral. Right now, they’re 100% behavioral, which that any theory that tries to cluster autism symptoms is hopelessly tainted by a recursive definition -> diagnosis -> definition cycle.

I find this type of science is infuriating. Monotropism as a theory of autism or adhd is equivalent to saying that “tendency to focus on a few things” is a theory of autism or adhd. You’re describing the symptoms, which explains almost nothing. A theory of autism would explain the underlying physical causes of the behavior.

This is fantastic. I knew that we’d see things like this once that hosting sqlite databases project was posted.
