Agreed.

I believe language support is the least of your worries
when trying to use CUDA, regardless of the calling language.

The bigger problem is the necessity of using NVIDIA's kernel module
in place of whatever you're using now (such as the Linux default).
Kernel module swaps are learning experiences.  :-)
(Can you say "dependencies"?  I knew you could!)
