I posted this because it&#x27;s the most official source, but I learned of it from José&#x27;s tweet here[0] and there&#x27;s also a video about it[1] in the elixirforum discussion[2]<p>I haven&#x27;t read the paper very far yet, but it sounds exciting in terms of ability to leverage GPUs for general purposes, curious for anyone&#x27;s more expert opinion on how significant for elixir or in general this might be in terms of opening up more reusable&#x2F;general code and library usage leveraging GPUs to developers who know little or nothing about GPU programming...<p>From the elixirforum discussion, this jumped out at me: Q8: What are higher-order kernels in Hok? A8: Higher-order kernels allow passing functions as arguments to GPU kernels, enabling dynamic configurations and flexible code reuse.<p>[0]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;josevalim&#x2F;status&#x2F;1847372557743456382" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;x.com&#x2F;josevalim&#x2F;status&#x2F;1847372557743456382</a><p>[1]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oB8eeJ-GaTM" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=oB8eeJ-GaTM</a><p>[2]<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elixirforum.com&#x2F;t&#x2F;two-new-elixir-related-papers-at-the-28th-brazilian-symposium-on-programming-languages&#x2F;66473" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;elixirforum.com&#x2F;t&#x2F;two-new-elixir-related-papers-at-t...</a>
