This is the most exciting!
And gcc plugins seem a better approach than a new language too.

The backend code should be handy, and this is a good thing to have. However, the language extensions are hokey and not that great compared to the recent open specification published by Microsoft, called AMP (granted, AMP can use the expressiveness of C++ while StarPU is limiting itself to C compatibility). Hopefully the backend code from this will help facilitate an AMP plugin.
