I find this explanation to still be non-compelling. I'm willing to believe I will be wrong and that this will still be the future. I just can't bring myself to think that people today will do any better of a job at defining what and how computing pieces will fit together any better than a few of the other attempts in the past. More, I'm not at all clear that this is something we even need to solve. Standardized interconnect? Great idea. There will almost certainly be many such standardized connections. Standardized compute? I'm less sold. A large part of the decisions that go into how some compute is done is about making tradeoffs appropriate for a use case. Not finding the universally correct tradeoff. Worse, if this is about sneaking compute into otherwise static data, as the example of fonts indicates, then a big no thank you from me. I am not too worried about "accidentally Turing complete," all told. But I also don't see the point in giving up and aiming for it everywhere. The idea that you could maybe have portable extensions for stuff like GIMP is somewhat compelling. But... we have come a long way with safely allowing plugins without needing a whole new definition. This reminds me of the microkernel debate and how it ignores loadable modules for the kernel.
