That Cray product is dead. "arbitrary C or fortran" is a holy grail, has
been tried many times, I hope you have done a literature search. It may
be a holy grail, that does not mean it is a good idea.

I have not.  Academically, AI is my main area of research.  I have
friends who are in this area whom I talk with about this a lot.  They
would have done the literature searches.

ditto. literature search. start ca. 1990, with the dbC to fpga compiler
work.
