Honestly, this is “scary cool” to me; What it represents to me is:

zero latency, easy hardware access, smooth, steady, and efficient learning curve 2-3 years of mad addiction

You totally control the whole chip, and attached devices. Everything is modular. There’s a big community of people uploading codes for individual cogs, for interacting with different devices, along with schematics. It has a single designer, so the design is compact: You can understand everything. This is, as far as I can tell, the keys to the kingdom of the material world.
