[Pozdnyakov, Mikhail]

Thanks for clarification. I also agree that this is better :-)

BR,

Sorry, did not get it. Could you please elaborate?

I'm not insisting on this concrete proposal, my point is just that it would be more safe and natural to enhance
ECMAScript (enable parallel calculations there) rather than make developers to introduce OpenCL snippets to their web apps.

Filip is saying that we should be able to auto-detect scripts that are using ParallelArrays implicitly instead of adding a new type and making Web developers use it.  i.e. if it quacks like a duck, then optimize it as a duck. And I completely agree with Filip on this.
