OpenCL, CUDA and GPU programming is becoming very popular, because the hardware rearrangement makes it inevitable. They use subsets of C/C++ now but since what you're programming is different you don't get into the mess of C++.
The speed and energy savings from GPUs are ridiculous. GPUs are 10x faster than CPUs. It's only a matter of time before someone rethinks the legacy stuff done on CPUs and ports it to an OpenCL style framework for GPUs.
It doesn't even matter if that's inappropriate and unnecessary. The programming world is stuck so deep in legacy programs that it needs a giant kick in the ass.
- C++ to an API is almost like a scripting language compared to writing it all yourself....vaxorcist
- there's no need of kick in the ass, low level programing will always stay, it's what make the machine efficient********
- some will forget 'em and start using high level languages but 'em will remain near the core of the machine********
- they will work silently so that your fancy HLL work fine********
