Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
Arise dead thread!

Primecoin needs CUDA/OCL to support large integers.

JAVA has java-math-biginteger.

Can rootbeer bridge this gap?

I agree that this might not be very useful given the highly-optimized hand-written mining code we already have, but it could facilitate bootstrapping altcoins, tinkering with mining for fun, etc.

Not really.... for one it compiles to CUDA, which is NVIDIA only.  Also, custom code is certain to be more efficient and the incentives are there to be as efficient as possible.
