The Slang project is seeking experienced GPU/graphics/AI compiler programmers who want to be part of the development of an ecosystem for AI-powered real-time graphics. My DMs are open.

Bringing autodiff to shaders is a challenging task. It takes years of effort to design the language that integrates differentiation as a first-class citizen, allowing autodiff to work seamlessly with custom types, arbitrary control flow, generics and dynamic dispatch.

It is traditional for programmers to measure our ages in hexadecimal. Today I became 2B, so it only seemed appropriateā¦

(1/5) Shading language and real-time rendering innovation are inextricably tied together.
In this new talk, Slang researcher, Yong He, describes the details of new language features in Slang, and how they are used by real-time path tracing researchers.

We've been co-researching shading language and real-time rendering innovation for years.
@TangentVector's recent talk describes the Slang journey from research to production.

I see people debating use of clang/LLVM for GPU/graphics compilers again, but few recognizing the ānobody ever got fired for buying IBMā factor.

It helps that both LLVM and clang are great technologies with strong communities. They are seldom an outright *bad* choice when they get used.

I can attest to the flip side being challenging. If you are sure that the āsafeā choice is not the right one for your project, do not expect immediate buy-in and be prepared to do the hard work of explaining and justifying your choice.

Our real-time path tracers depend on many of Slang's advanced language features, and we co-design Slang language and renderers together.
Come see @TangentVector talk about the journey of growing Slang from research to production.
The Women in Compilers and Tools Virtual Meetup will feature Theresa Foley with "Taking the Slang Shading Language From Research to Production". Join us this Thursday, 6pm PDT meetup.com/meetup-group-ifwtā¦ @TangentVector

Are there any (accessible) articles on how programming language design influences *what* gets built with them, particularly articles that contrast the needs of commerce vs. the needs of communities and the public commons?

Deeply frustrating knowing how often Iāve played Casandra in my career, warning people about bad ideas only to have them be implemented anyway, and then realizing that I donāt even get to feel any joy or vindication when people come around years later.
