Chapel Programming Language
@chapellanguage.bsky.social
Chapel is a programming language for productive parallel programming, for everyone and at every scale. Learn more about us on our website (https://chapel-lang.org).
For the first time, Chapel will be represented at @fosdem.org!

If you will be at FOSDEM 2026, make sure to stop by the HPC, Big Data & Data Science track on Sunday and see Jade Abraham talk about Productive Parallel Computing in Chapel and Arkouda.
