So if Dao is optionally typed, what are the other programming input options? Voice input? Graphical point n click input?

The time when everything needed to be specifically ported to a machine to make it perform bearably or at all. How I missed having stuff not work without that extra length to go to.
On embedded hardware, that time never ended... And the rPi isn't really fast enough that you can just run in all software, or even with just the relatively feeble OpenGL hardware, and pretend.
Not to mention the Pi is only $35 and uses a few watts of power, you cant expect current laptop class performance for that price.
The OP ignores the fact that incorporating this tech into the major Pi distros and projects is only work for the developers of said projects, not end users.
End users just wait for the next software update, and then they get vastly improved graphics performance.
I fail to see what on earth is wrong with a major advance in performance to a specific piece of hardware.
I just smell the acrid stench of cynicism wafting from the general direction of the OP.
All is light. That is all.
That proton over there disagrees.
All the hate is because it is not made by Apple.
If it was iGlass, the love-in would be tremendous. Of course, if Apple made it, there would be no customer input, no previews, no leaks and no idea the product even existed until after the "one more thing..." moment arrived.
But after that, the store lines would already be forming.
The only acceptable response to those people is a good old fashioned Trolling.
Remember, they are just a (vocal) minority, most of us here at Slashdot do actually have a modicum of intelligence, and can see the true merit behind such scientific endeavours.
Since you seem to have put some effort into your Trollpost, Ill put some effort in judging how well you did.
After some deliberation, I have awarded you a 4/10.
You scored points for the effort required to type out your Trollpost, as well as doing some research on the current bunk believed by serious UFO nutcases. I also awarded you points for your attention to spelling and grammar. ( many Troll attempts fail at even simple primary school level English )
Unfortunately, I marked you down due to the obvious nature of your Troll attempt, and the lack of anything controversial thats required to elicit an acceptable response to a proper Troll.
Nothing you have posted is even slightly believable to even the uneducated, so is not likely to succeed as a viable Troll post.
In all, not a bad attempt, I surely have seen worse on Slashdot, but with some more effort and research, you should be able to pull off a good Troll in the future.
Call me cynical, but am I the only person who *wants* a wide scale pandemic that kills off a large percentage of the human race?
We have shown that we cannot, by ourselves, take care of the human population explosion.
Nature could possibly take care of this highly political problem all by itself.
Also, a lot of algorithms, perhaps even most, rely on branching, which is something GPUs suck at. And only some can be reasonably rewritten in a branchless way.
nonsence, I play Farcry3 on my GPU, and it renders branches just fine thank you very much.
How much did Disney pay for this blatant slashvertisement?
Disney paid $0.00
Lego X-Wing models are nerdy enough to warrant mention on Slashdot.
Sorry if this doesnt fit into your conspiracy theory way of thinking, but thems the breaks.

On a gun that decides when it's time to fire, I hope there's a cancel button.
I also bet there's someone that gets this, pulls the trigger at a picture of someone they hate, and then leaves the gun lying around their house. It wouldn't work, not that it wouldn't be fun to try.
The abort would be when you release the trigger.
Is it me, or do reaction wheels seem to be the most failure prone part of space telescopes?
I do not wear any watch, I have a smartphone that does this job fine.
You wear a smartphone?
In my first world western democratic country, we call that illegal corruption, and will prosecute that politician to the fullest extent of the law. ( and have done so in the past, hence this country has one of the lowest levels of corruption in the world )
Just because you are used to corruption in the USA, doesn't mean its like that the world over.
You actually *dont* have to put up with political corruption and bribery in America. It is actually OK to protest against corruption. Seriously. ( im not trolling )
" Was this bribery? Of course not! "
Of course? How is it obvious that it is not bribery? I dont see anything obvious as to why it is not.
Giving a politician money for the purpose of influencing said politicians support of legislation is corruption, fair and square.
There are no ifs or buts, it is corruption.
And this corruption is so widespread, and so accepted ( and even expected ), that the American people think nothing of it, and accept it as simply a part of doing politics.
Leader of the Free World my ass.
I live in a first world western democracy, and here, this sort of corruption is illegal. Why is this allowed in the USA?
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
