Not planning on using OpenCL for your projects going forward.

Seriously, if you aren't learning OpenCL, you're going to be obsolete if you're a low-level C/C++ programmer, game programmer, AI programmer, etc.

Lisp is actually perfect for this.  Think about it. The only three "reference types" are symbol/string, cons and lambda, and the two former are immutable.  It becomes trivial to declare types in a few places and use static analysis to determine the types of everything everywhere (if the deduction system fails, just add a few more type hints!).  And the compiler only has to deal with those three reference types that it understands perfectly.
