New language promises to reduce compilation times by using all threads and gpu cores available on your machine. What's your opinions on it so far?

I wrote some math shit in it the other day. It's cool. Waiting for more data types, more optimizations and then I'll probably be using the hell out of it.

I like the HVM language better. It's more functional-y and suits the model. Bend is just syntactic sugar for HVM.

funny thing is that the project page of hvm actually recommends bend.

Bend is the human-readable language and should be used both by end users and by languages aiming to target the HVM. (https://github.com/HigherOrderCO/HVM?tab=readme-ov-file#language)
