PTX is a bytecode format, the CUDA driver JIT compiles it when uploading into the cards.

Can't the same also be said of much of the x86 vocabulary at this point?

I appreciate that we can upload SPIR-V directly. The API still feels overly obtuse but it's not so bad.

SYCL gets close but is language specific.
