TL;DR
Is there yet a programming language that facilitates using p-bits? (p-bits are a hardware concept, with properties different than those of ordinary bits and also different than the qubits of quantum computing).
Is there yet a programming language for implementing processes that use probabilistic bits (p-bits)?

Ars technica just had an article about probabilistic computing and from what I can gather from this and the linked abstract to a Nature paper (I have not read the paper itself, only the abstract) then a "solution" is still very much done by assembling and/or combining the spintronics hardware by hand.

I would imagine that a programming language for this technology only becomes "relevant" when the underlying special hardware somehow can be configured by computer instruction (like with the D-Wave). Until then I would guess the programming language is just the math describing the particular setup for a problem.
