It seems like hardware is moving away from RISC and even CISC architectures in favor of lots of different types of silicon for specialized applications (GPU, machine learning, vision, DSP, hashing, encryption, SIMD).

It makes sense from a hardware perspective but it seems software development is not keeping pace. General purpose languages have trouble targeting this kind of hardware.




This sounds good, as a person who specializes in domain specific languages. Maybe we'll see higher demand and corresponding salary increases...
