happy to discuss this offline, but I stand with my second post. I did read your entire article in case I could find a gem in there of support for a programming language development. Didn't find it. Found alot about policy and when to use stuff, use of standard programming languages, etc.

from 2012 to 2016 I built an AI chipset. spent alot of time trying to gain customers and sell it into the market. In the end, we lost the business because we did not have the funding or the industry sway to build a cuda like language.

just the programming is simple. You spend $200k, build an LLM model, start programming in whatever language you like. Most prople go with C as you can build entire OS system from that and do much better real time control. Python is an appllication level language but not well know for these types of control and timing type problems. Kinda like the modern day Basic programming versus the fortran base. while you could flash leds and get some calculations done, you could never use Basic for control and complex things.

but we spent alot of time trying to implement AI algorithmns on a massivley parallel machine we built. just handling thread management during compile time can take many man months if not handled automatically.
the ONLY reason NVIDIA has the lead they have is because circa 2007-2010 a group of professors and researchers using the GPU at various universities and large think tanks got together and started an open source effort, which NVIDIA embraced and supported, and they came up wtih open source solutions to the complex programming models. complete libraries of standard things.

you don't need dominance, you need ground swell. takes a seed, a large user group base, and a need. probably more like $50-100M level of effort. but takes a leader.
