Depends on how you define simplicity, really. Writing a good back-end for this architecture is likely to be very challenging.

Not really. The temporal addressing is quite simple for a compiler to generate. Plus, Mill was designed by a compiler writer in the first place.

What challenges would you think a back-end developer would face?
