I also like the idea, but isn't it already tried with the transputer computer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transputer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transpute

And since programming is still mostly just chaining actions together, maybe we are just not very good at using other paradigms.
- Dylan16807 9y agoIt's the same to an extent, but we're now in a world where chips are clocked 100x higher and we've squeezed dry the paradigm of making a serial core with faster and faster transistors.
- boomlinde 9y agoAn important difference from the Transputer is that it is an entirely asynchronous design that doesn't rely on a clock. It doesn't waste power idling just to distribute and keep a clock vibrating, unless you program it to do so.
