Why should the language be changed? Any work done now to develop a J implementation that can exploit massively parallel machines may also be relevant to a quantum machine. Note the low cost of access to 38,000 cores: Cycle Computing, a high-performance computing vendor, has successfully bonded 3,809 eight-core Amazon AWS Elastic Compute 2 instances together to create a supercomputer cluster of 30,472 processor cores with 27TB of memory and 2PB of storage. The running cost - or at least the cost you'll have to pay Cycle for dedicated access to the cluster - is just $1,279 per hour, or about four cents per core. Is this a project for the University of Mordialloc?
