    The github blurb says the language is comparable to general purpose languages like python and haskell.

    Perhaps unintentionally, this seems to imply that the language can speed up literally any algorithm linearly with core count, which is impossible.

    If it can automatically accelerate a program that has parallel data dependencies, that would also be a huge claim, but one that is at least theoretically possible.

      You nailed it! That’s exactly what this is! Read through their README, and the paper attached. It’s very cool tech
