This paper mentions CRN++, a compiler that translates an imperative language into Chemical Reaction Networks. I had no idea this field existed. This stuff is mind bogglingly cool!

- amelius 7y agoI skimmed the paper but I still wonder how a (practical) memory would be implemented, and how many bits it could contain. I think these computations all happen in a "soup", and this means that the memory can only exist as a superposition of concentrations, which I suppose has its limits.
