It would be a mistake to judge that on the basis of those posting 
in this forum. I've done some GPU work, but "compute" doesn't 
mean anything to me. The R task view for HPC lists a bunch of GPU 
packages, none of which use "compute" in the name: 
https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/HighPerformanceComputing.html

I've also used PyCUDA and PyOpenCL, and am aware of PyMagma, none 
of which refer to "compute".

Marketing is only bike shedding if you don't care how many people 
make use of your work.
