Where are the async millionaires?

Abstract

Fear and Greed drive computer projects. It's no coincidence that it matches the motivators in the stock market. Fear: The competition will have something you don't. Greed: That you might be able to do something the competition can't.So far, no one's done anything with Async that instills Fear in me. I'll talk about why not, and hopefully inspire someone to create such fear. Today, when Async has been used in general purpose computing, it's been fairly simplistic. The Async people could add value in several areas -high-speed signaling, power management, error-correction, etc. -if they weren't so dogmatic about what's a clock and what's not. Dogma doesn't create enough Fear.
