Not one comment here about the “GPU drivers in Python”. I like the idea of iteration speed, over pure speed.
And the coprocessor called “ASC” also have similarities with Python, where the GPU is doing the heavy lifting, but the ASC (like Python) interact using shared memory. The same Python is doing with a lot of its libraries (written in C/C++)

It's a processor, not a programming language :) The team has essentially strapped the API into something that you can poke with Python instead of with a native driver.
