It's exciting, for sure. Although, I do have to remain skeptical that it will happen as soon as the author hopes. These sorts of changes require so many companies, organizations, and people to change their tools across the entire spectrum of computing..low level hardware, compilers, and possibly programming languages. Then there will be tools to cross-compile existing software onto these new architectures, and those tools will undoubtedly have a host of bugs of their own.
Nevertheless, if and when this happens, it's going to be FUCKING AWESOME.
