I think VLIW failed because it overestimated how difficult and expensive it was to schedule instructions for a superscalar processor at runtime.

    Runtime. With hardware. They underestimated how difficult it would be to produce competitive execution scheduling at compile-time in software.

      Ah, got it. A subtle point but a pertinent one!
