Me too! I've been using it for bioinformatics related work, and it is absolutely fantastic. I can't wait for it to hit fully open source status so it can be easily recommended.
"requires" is a strong word, but I implemented an alignment kernel that can do alignments on the GPU.
Overall I think there is going to be a lot of "old" gpu compute hanging around, and now that writing kernels is a lot easier than it has been, we might as well try and see what algorithms we can get working there.
I originally picked up Mojo for the SIMD, not for the GPU kernels. The SIMD usability in Mojo is outstanding.

I work in bioimaging. What kind of bioinformatics are you doing that requires mojo level power?
