In reality, the only parts that are different are the wings and the engines. The rest of the systems are essentially the same. The fuselage has the same diameter and design (just slightly longer). Most people would not be able to tell the

Neither. The main delay is due to a problem with the GE9X engines. Some of the internal components were wearing out faster than expected so they had to redesign them.

Berkeley has Chisel where you write something like C + Scala and you get Verilog for hardware instantiation and C for verification https://chisel.eecs.berkeley.edu/

If they make Bing 2X faster, then they can roughly cut the amount of servers they need by half. They measure "speed" by number of requests that can be fulfilled in Z amount of time.
