> OpenGL Shading Language is a high-level shading language with a syntax based on the C programming language.
"high-level" and "based on C" in the same sentence? Something wrong isn't right.

Somebody said assembly is a low level language, not C. There are various degrees of high level 😁

TBH I do somewhat sympathise with those who say that C is not low level, in that it's working through an API to the processor that largely pretends it's a PDP-11: queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=

I feel I have opened a can of worms 😂 I don't mean low-level in the derrogatory way, but in a practical way. One end of the spectrum is assembly and the other is math. C is closer to assembly, while Adga is closer to math. You wouldn't use C to prove things.

Haha yeah seriously shaders would be super nice with some level of higher order functions, etc. And yeah also agree with this interpretation too (sorry for going off in the other direction haha).
Now wondering if we could make a Mercury grade for SPIR-V… logic programming on the GPU haha
