That's why they introduced technologies like C++ AMP and CUDA which are basically extensions on top of C++, so that you don't have to bother with DirectX and OpenGL and their shaders. With these "extensions" you can just write your whole code in C++ and launch parallel kernels which are executed on the GPU.

But just start with a standard programming language running on solely the CPU and get your software rasterizer working on the CPU before you bother using a GPU to increase the performance.
