Gioas re di Giuda

Gioas re di Giuda (Joas, king of Judah) is an Italian-language oratorio libretto by Pietro Metastasio written in 1735 for imperial court composer Georg Reutter the younger and later set by at least 25 composers.[1] The plot is based on the life of King Joash of Judah.

gollark: I wasn't aware of this. I vaguely remember reading that they were basically the same languagewise apart from minor details of some kind.

gollark: No, that seems to just *naturally* have no users

gollark: Initial CUDA support (it is apparently maybe 10% faster on nvidia stuff, but generally the same) and nobody ever bothered to change it because all the researchers just bought from nvidia? That seems kind of implausible.

gollark: Which does make me wonder why machine learning tools aren't written against it.

gollark: Yes. This is vendor lockin. OpenCL works basically fine.
