I would probably say libraries is most important. Mir is a
great advance. I've been applauding your work all the way
through. There are two things that I think Mir needs most (and
we've talked about them before as things you were thinking
about) and then a third is a nice-to-have
1) A higher level layer with more convenient syntax for Mir-Glas
2) Lapack support (eigenvalues, svd, & cholesky/qr
decompositions)
3) D compute support (would be nice to easily offload big
computations to GPU)
number 3 is in the pipeline. LDC should be able to produce .ptx
and .spv (the intermediate formats for CUDA and OpenCL
respectively, with host code all at the same time!) RealSoon™ (I
hope by the end of the month).
From there it's all just plain D API bashing, which will be
easily automated with .mangleof and templates.
I am hoping to give a DConf talk about this.
