Clockless CPUs have been a theoretical idea for over a decade before the "neutral network" became a common phrase. Felt like a decade ago it was still a pipe dream. Resolving the asynchronous signals becomes a chore. The world feels stateful and ordered to humans. In the same way functional programming can be difficult, getting this right is very hard.

Then automated clock gate insertion made it possible to approach the gains of asynchronous, but still designing in a synchronous paradigm.
