> Seems to be asking for some sort of optical FPGA thing with the hope that light will be immensely faster than electricity. Maybe not knowing that it's not? But really it is. Except for interconnects or analog RF stages, ICs aren’t built as if they were solid states waveguides. Indeed speed is determined by how powerful the charge pumps are in moving electrons, not quite the speed of EM propagation
