@screwlisp @vnikolov Look, are we talking 'should I', or, 'will I have time in my lifetime to'? Certainly I think I should; practically, my next goal after the compiler is exploring ways of getting computations to spread across the hypercube that actually deliver performance. I mean, a massively parallel computation which is actually slower than a single threaded one is pointless. A computation in which a thousand processors are cooperating isn't going to be a thousand times faster...

@screwlisp @vnikolov ...because communication overheads and bottlenecks, but it should be substantially faster or the whole project is kind of pointless.
