You would love to see computers become harder to program?

It canbe nice to have the opportunity to program something harder but faster. Counter example: Itanium, which was too hard to program (compilers) for.

It is kind of ironic that compiler theory has advanced and now we can target Itanium no problem. It was a bit (well, a lot) ahead of its time.

I would try to build a new compiler (or a LLVM intermediary processing layer) that does NUMA optimizations.
