It looks like excitement over a new approach to computer architecture. The ideas behind how it works are interesting, but it's fundamentally incredibly inefficient, and always less efficient than traditional computers. It's only actually well-suited to a handful of applications. The interesting problem it could solve is some flavor of distributed hosting, but people are so hostile to paying for things on the internet, I'm not sure how viable it is. It's not usually viable or interesting to businesses because it's more expensive. But yes, as an academic exercise of toy systems you can port to your platform, it's interesting.
