== Overview ==
Futhark is a language in the [[ML (programming language)|ML]] family, with an indentation-insensitive syntax derived from [[OCaml]], [[Standard ML]], and [[Haskell]]. The [[type system]] is based on a [[Hindley–Milner type system]] with a variety of extensions, such as [[uniqueness type]]s and size-[[dependent type]]s. Futhark is not intended as a [[general-purpose programming language]] for writing full applications, but is instead focused on writing computational "kernels" (not necessarily the same as a [[Compute kernel|GPU kernel]]) which are then invoked from applications written in conventional languages.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://futhark.readthedocs.io/en/latest/|title=Futhark User's Guide|website=futhark.readthedocs.io}}</ref>
== Examples ==
=== Dot product ===
The following program computes the [[dot product]] of two vectors containing double-precision numbers.

=== Matrix multiplication ===
The following program performs [[matrix multiplication]], using the definition of dot product above.
