One of the reasons I keep dropping hints about #perlffi , #pdl and #openmp is that one can literally have five multithreading frameworks in the same #perl application of a master process: 1) PDL, and FFI intefacing with 2) #Fortran coarrays, 3) Fortran openmp, 4) #c openmp and 5) #cplusplus #openmp. All these frameworks can share memory addresses for array and vector objects, and #perl aided by #PerlAlien makes the authoring of the high-level code a pleasure ! https://hgpu.org/?p=29403

Optimizing the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with OpenMP Offload and Codee

Currently, the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) utilizes shared memory (OpenMP) and distributed memory (MPI) parallelisms. To take advantage of GPU resources on the Perlmutter supercomp…

I think I am 50% done finding a quadrafecta : a simultaneous hit piece against #Perl #clang #fortran & #rstats.

This one only manages to trash talk #perl and #rstats, so it has some ways to go.

PS 1Gotta admit that the point about the object systems in R is somewhat spot on
PS 2 #php gets a dishonorable mention
PS3 I will continue to find ways to continue using all 4 of the aforementioned languages, as they are all performant and deliver in complementary ways.

@Qbitzerre @mjgardner in an unrelated note, I wonder if one can use #perl to put some metaprogramming magic into C sources because the C preprocessor, is quite limited as far as generation tools are concerned https://mailund.dk/posts/macro-metaprogramming/

or non #perl implementations

#Assembly & #fortran would also be candidates for something like this ib #HPC and #datascience applications.

9 Programming Languages That Are Heading for Extinction

#cobol #fortran #haskell #pascal #perl #rlang #visualbasic

https://www.makeuseof.com/programming-languages-heading-for-extinction/?utm_medium=erik.in&utm_source=mastodon

#Fortran feels no hurry: it was in the TIOBE Index Top 20 for 9 months in 2021 (the year it went back), 5 months in 2022, and already 7 months in 2023. A total of 21 months on the last 33 months (start from January 2021):

The #Fortran-lang community is giving a new impulse:
https://fortran-lang.org/

And the Fortran 2023 standard should be published around October/November.

Well, Fortran is playing chess with Death for several decades now.

@ChristosArgyrop Bad news, according to this “Make Use Of” #clickbait both #Rlang and #Perl are “heading for extinction” along with #VisualBasic (and #VBA), #Haskell, #Fortran, #COBOL, #ActionScript (the language in discontinued #AdobeFlash), and #Pascal: https://apple.news/A9sb4_KhEQoeIdeulO_zfgw

The text hedges the headline’s assertion for every entry above. And of course, it cites #TIOBE.

It’s also syndicated on #MSN, which has had, um, quality control problems lately: https://futurism.com/msn-ai-brandon-hunter-useless

Microsoft Publishes Garbled AI Article Calling Tragically Deceased NBA Player "Useless"

Microsoft's MSN news portal published a garbled, seemingly AI-generated article that derided Hunter as "useless" in its headline.
