Power is a great ISA for simple FPGA development because its instruction set is generally fixed width and well organised. So you can fit it to a nice look up table, the case statements are a thing of beauty. Whereas x86 style instructions are variable length and more difficult to work with. I hope to see a lot more like this with the open sourcing. I'm not sure it's very competitive, but it's a great education tool at the very least.
