In my view, GPGPU is much closer to contemporary Connection Machines, which used Lisp machines for their front-ends. Now the front-end is x86-64 machines running Python instead of Lisp.

Similar. So much of llm is about language design and leveraging being able to quickly manipulate semi formal dsls that I think lisp is a brilliant “driver”, so much more so than then current “string templates and regex parsing” approaches.
