Ah, the promise of VLIW. I played with one VLIW architecture when it came out (TI 320 C6000) and it looked exciting but after a while we got tired of waiting for the SW magic to materialize, I think similar problems have generally been the downfall of VLIW systems.
We did look at handwriting assembly code, since we were already intimately familiar with the classic TI 320C30s and C40s (fantastic DSPs!) but it was just so crazy. Even TI told us not to bother and wait for their super cool compilers.
