Could you elaborate on the practical applications? I find this sort of thing very interesting, but it seems to get computationally infeasible once you apply it to any sort of real-world problem.

Well, this project as it currently is makes no sense to use for anything real. What this project is trying to show is that ANY computation is possible with this.

So we don’t necessarily have to create an entire VM to, say, run a FHE machine learning model. That can be built directly and specifically optimized for the task. I think that’s where this is currently useful for real world stuff.

A practical application is that you can host your code on any untrusted server and know that the hoster won't lift your data.

One practical application is DRM
