Gotta say, the constant dance between all these GPU frameworks kinda wears me out sometimes - always chasing that better build, you know?

The need to build CubeCL came from the Burn deep learning framework (https://github.com/tracel-ai/burn), where we want to easily build algorithms like in CUDA with a real programming language, while also being able to integrate those algorithms inside a compiler at runtime to fuse dynamic graphs.
Since we don't want to rewrite everything multiple times, it also has to be multi-platform and optimal, so the feature set must be per-device, not per-language. I'm not aware of a tool that does that, especially in Rust (which Burn is written in).

Jax? But then you're stuck in python. SYCL?
But yeah not for Rust. This project is filling a prominent hole IMO.
