I wish FPGAs and other more purpose built and purpose suited options were available in my IT equipment. They can do amazing shit, better and more efficiently. Just wasn’t ever available to use for me at least.
One problem is that programming an FPGA is a rare skill. A lot of even good programmers simply don’t get their heads around how they tick.
Coming from a digital hardware background, an FPGA was amazingly straightforward, so I’m one of the rare breeds who does both FPGAs and microprocessors.
There are a load of things in IT where using a processor is the wrong choice, and using an FPGA instead would have made a lot of problems a non-issue.

That’s awesome! I bet that gives you some really good insights to the two platforms.
