NVIDIA Labs released an experimental Rust-to-CUDA compiler that lets you write SIMT GPU kernels in idiomatic Rust, compiling directly to PTX via a custom rustc backend. No DSLs, no foreign language bindings. Device intrinsics and the CUDA programming model, natively in Rust's type system. Experimental, but the direction is clear: Rust is eating systems programming all the way down to the GPU.
