You brought up the question of why people are interested in the mill and then discussed the question of whether the mill is viable. They're not completely unrelated but still distinct. Being a software guy I can't say much about the viability. Watching Ivan's lectures and thinking it over however tickles the same part of my brain that enjoys learning a new programming language. It is just fun to see how some problem could be solved differently.
