I'm also a little bit behind on the semantics and understanding. From my perspective we need to make the CPU more user friendly first, so I would like a VM (without GC) in silicon. Basically removing the absurdities of the memory and error handling that we get now. I still have no clue if this is possible? Then I think going back to 8-bits and making a purely parallel multi-core processor with segregated transistor memory and shared DRAM would be an interesting idea, just to see how that would work out with today's lithography and memory bottlenecks. Of course you would have to code differently so the programming language would have to change by adding local and remote memory to the variables and explicitly handling concurrency without blocking to the remote memory somehow. Possibly by copying, which is slow, but that memory is already going to be slow. The common path for both of these is lets make things complex in a different ways separately to see if we can make life for programmers better, one by removing frustration and worry the other by keeping the energy efficient scaling and memory speeds going for a tad more.
