Wait until Moore runs out. Then, we'll see whether you can ignore
computational physics.

Today, yes. Tomorrow, who knows.

While I don't expect so see working F21 silicon anytime soon, I expect
to see MISC ideas to survive, and eventually wind up in
mainstream/other hobbyist designs. OpenSourcing the hardware is the
best news I heard for a long while.
