> Despite attempts to make Atom—an Electron application—more responsive, it never reached the performance standards the team yearned for.

This feels like an attempt at deflecting blame. VSCode is another Electron application that ended up having better performance than Atom. There's another Electron adjacent application that has good performance, the one you're probably using right now to read this page.

Depending on page content of course

I’m not saying that VSCode is the snappiest editor out there but for all its flaws it’s still the most responsive editor for my use case on moderately sized CUDA/HIP projects.

I would have implemented profiles if profiles had a chance of working. But they will not ever work. I present many examples of why they fail here: https://www.circle-lang.org/draft-profiles.html

People who say Profiles are a path forward, please address any of the points in this document.

Unrelated but are you back at the Big Green? Curious about what they have you working on.

HIP is definitely a viable option. In fact with some effort you can port large CUDA projects to be compilable with the HIP/ AMD-clang toolchain. This way you don’t have to rewrite the world from scratch in a new language but still be able to run GPU workloads on AMD hardware.

What would differentiate this from AMD’s clang based HIP compiler https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/HIP/en/latest/ ?
