      Corporation? I’m not anti business, far from it. But I have an interest in economics as well as technology. We need effective markets. CUDA is an example of a market problem caused by a corporation’s own language. It has screwed up competition.

          He means programming language. Don’t use programming languages that are controlled by a single company. Not “don’t say CUDA when you mean any general purpose GPU programming language”.
