Message-ID: <9d075e1c7dfb3b8d3bc994ba5b3565c5@quanstro.net> (raw)

the abstract for glift contains this gem:

	Glift enables GPU programmers to separate algorithms from data structure 
	definitions; thereby greatly simplifying algorithmic development [...]

has anyone considered a declaritive language for this sort of programming?
or are shaders too irregular for that sort of thing?
