Some years ago we got a chance to provides an efficient way to 
perform efficient computation with library such as 
https://wiki.dlang.org/LDC_CUDA_and_SPIRV

And recently I put my feedback where D could provide some killer 
feature in this area:

Unfortunately, this will not be possible in the near future, so 
others language will keep the market
