This plugin provides support for Higher Order Company's Bend parallel programming language to the IntelliJ Platform.
Warning: While effort is made to ensure a stable and reliable user experience, this plugin is under heavy development.
Bend is a massively parallel, high-level programming language.
Unlike low-level alternatives like CUDA and Metal, Bend has the feeling and features of expressive languages like Python and Haskell, including fast object allocations, higher-order functions with full closure support, unrestricted recursion, even continuations. Yet, it runs on massively parallel hardware like GPUs, with near-linear speedup based on core count, and zero explicit parallel annotations: no thread spawning, no locks, mutexes, atomics. Bend is powered by the HVM2 runtime.
