I posted this because it's the most official source, but I learned of it from José's tweet here[0] and there's also a video about it[1] in the elixirforum discussion[2]

I haven't read the paper very far yet, but it sounds exciting in terms of ability to leverage GPUs for general purposes, curious for anyone's more expert opinion on how significant for elixir or in general this might be in terms of opening up more reusable/general code and library usage leveraging GPUs to developers who know little or nothing about GPU programming...

From the elixirforum discussion, this jumped out at me: Q8: What are higher-order kernels in Hok? A8: Higher-order kernels allow passing functions as arguments to GPU kernels, enabling dynamic configurations and flexible code reuse.
