Regarding Focal, it looks like the weakest point is that you still have to write the kernels in C. That is where I want to help with LFortran, we are making great [progress](https://gitlab.com/lfortran/lfortran/-/merge_requests?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=merged) lately on being able to translate Fortran to C++. I just posted at [Fortran to C++ translation](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fortran-to-c-translation/211/13) to continue this particular work.
