It does feel maybe like the world has changed a bit now that LLVM is ubiquitous with its intermediate representation form being available for specialized purposes. Translation from IR to a VLIW plan should be easier now than the state of compiler tech in the 90s.
But "this is a good idea just poorly executed" seems to be the perennial curse of VLIW, and how Itanium ended up shoved onto people in the first place.
