It feels like "within the time limits" has always been the problem of difficult to program for software-dependant architectures: time vs competitors.
E.g. in the time it takes to write an intelligent compiler (IA-64), your better-resourced (because they're getting revenue from the current market) competitor has surpassed your performance via brute evolution force.
There are use cases out there (early supercomputing, NVIDIA) where radical, development-heavy architectures have been successful, but they generally lack of competitor (the former) or iterate ruthlessly themselves (the latter).
