@jakintosh it's a complicated answer, but to put simply, no. It seems to be held behind blockers similar to why we don't have parallel data structures primitives in most common languages, it's many years before we have cohorts that are using future of coding type systems. There's a couple of shifts that need to occur before this can happen. It's just a fringe theorical idea atm.

@neauoire so in other words, do we strictly need reversible hardware to see the energy saving benefits? or is it theoretically possible, but not plausible, with existing hardware? mostly coming from a perspective of planning for efficiency of existing hardware and not just praying for new architectures to do it for us

@jakintosh Oh, yeah, no that's no compatible at all with how hardware works right now. It'll be a whole different architecture.

@jakintosh and even beyond that, the current programming paradigms don't map well at all on the models.
