This project looks pretty amazing, as a way to use OpenCL from rust without hand-writing kernels. I can see that it's not "idiomatic" because Rust has moved on; even the example pointed to still uses "do" syntax (that took me a while to figure out.. :) ).

Do you think this still works, though? If it were updated and given a cargo project, could this be used for Pure-Rust OpenCL?

Or, is there a newer project that achieves the same goal? I can see there are several projects that wrap openCL kernels, but require the kernels to be already written in C. That's OK, but not as much fun. :)

Thanks!

I think it could be updated and still work! But such an update would require a significant amount of time because so many things changed in the language since then. I don't intend to update/work on this any more but I am open to let someone take over the project !

I am not aware of any alternative but I did not check for quite a while.
