I was at the time of writing and still am an accelerator architect and I'd gladly use someone's idea in a mass market product (ASIC) if they didn't mind. However, it is also true that working on any real product means that many valid ideas useful in some contexts will not be useful for me, and I guess this is true for many ideas for speeding up higher-level programming models, and perhaps it was misleading of me to fail to point this out. (As I said I don't love the tone of that article, it is unfortunately very effective as my articles written in that tone around 2008 tend to resurface more often than articles written in nicer, more balanced tone and with way more technical details from around say 2012-2013. What is my takeoff wrt future writing I'm still not quite sure.)
