That's very cool but it's in no way specific to the FORTRAN language:

contrary to the earlier comment:

> You can't do this in C/C++

On a side note: having (semi)automatic parallelization with code generation for GPGPU would be very nice.

I think that's just bad programming practices.




Well, doing complex matrix calculation yourself in C/C++ without 3rd party library is hard. Unless you write everything yourself or specifically use intel MKL library, the benefit of enabling automatic parallelization on C/C++ won't be as impactful as in fortran where it's common do all calculation without using any 3rd party math library.
