       | Introduction : Finite Field Assembly is a programming language

       | It's a CUDA alternative that uses finite field theory to convert
       | GPU kernels to prime number fields.
       | 
       | Finite Field is the primary data structure : FF-asm is a CUDA
       | alternative designed for computations over finite fields.
       | 
       | Recursive computing support : not cache-aware vectorization, not
       | parallelization, but performing a calculation inside a
       | calculation inside another calculation.
       | 
       | Extension of C89 - runs everywhere gcc is available. Context :
       | I'm getting my math PhD and I built this language around my area
       | of expertise, Number Theory and Finite Fields.
