   This is something I've been fantasizing about for long.

   Let's say we took Rust, a language that makes parallelization easier than others (as it helps you avoid some common footguns). How difficult would it be to have a massively parallel computer system made out of many tiny, simple microcontroller-like chips? Let's say we picked many little Risc-V's. Surely this would be an interesting experiment (though I'm not sure whether it'd make economic sense or not...)

      Mojo might be what you want, especially with "MAX" which is their AI modeling framework, where in other languages you need NVidia's libraries, or AMDs, etc the Max libraries just let you talk directly to the GPU / CPU / ASIC with Mojo. I think Mojo is very underrated in this space right now, but assuming they don't mess it up, it could be a major contender in AI. In theory, if someone releases a board, and Modular (company that 'owns' Mojo) adds it to Max, you're basically in the green to experiment as much as you want.
