[oc] think different (was: Beyond Transmeta...)

Leyland,

I fear your ideas may be wasted if you insist on running X86 binaries
or even recompiling conventional languages such as C.

You should consider different architectures (like Dataflow, which was a
popular research topic in the 1980s) and different languages (like
SISAL or similar functional languages).

Take a look at the ASPLOS Wild and Crazy Idea Session '98 Submissions:

   http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~kubitron/asplos98/complete.html

These might give you some ideas of what is possible.
