Last time I checked, everything is still running on von Neumann/Harvard CPUs. Did I miss a major revolution in computing?

  Yes

    Please elaborate.

      Compilers.
      • pphysch 5y ago
        Which (Haskell) compilers that target actually-existing hardware do not output procedural bytecode?
        • mixedCase 5y ago
          That is the point.

  Forgive the tangent, but your comment reminded me of item #52 on the venerable "Things to say when you're losing a technical argument" list. :) http://web.archive.org/web/20050131033632/http://www.skirsch.com/humor/techarg.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20050131033632/http://www.skirsch...

    Yikes.

  Yes, nowadays we have those machines, called computers (or automatic computers if you need the older name for reference), that can take software made for one architecture, no matter how unreal, and turn it into software made for another architecture.
  • pphysch 5y ago
    Could you share a Haskell compiler that produces output that can execute on a real non-von Neumann/Harvard architecture?
    • thewakalix 5y ago
      Why would anyone have built one of those, if non-von Neumann architectures are so rare? Compilers aren't much of a weekend project. I don't get your point.
