Sometime in the next year, I finally get some other human interested in the BitGrid architecture[1] as a general purpose compute platform. It's an FPGA without the hassle (sorta). That helps me get out of analysis paralysis, and make a better case for the architecture.
Over the next few years, people figure out how to best impedance match it with the execution of AI workloads, and we're off to the races.... all those high speed transistors no longer have to sit around waiting for their turn to take part in executing code, and things get much, much faster.
But first... I need something more than a Pascal based emulator for the BitGrid, with no meaningful I/O.[2]
Maybe if I implement it as a blueprint in Factorio?
