It developed out of a dissertation at MIT (honestly a pretty damn impressive one IMO) and it seems like without some sort of significant support from universities, foundations or corporations, it would be pretty difficult to “monetize” - these in turn require some sort of substantial industry adoption or dogfooding it in some other job/contracts, which is tough I assume.
