LOL.
The Mill guys took the arguments from the Itanium people, and turned the crazy up to 11, with "the belt" and seemingly trying to do a dataflow machine but not worrying over-much about memory accesses etc.
The whole "we'll deal with it in the compiler" is crazy talk.
In other words, I'll believe it when I see it. And I doubt we'll ever see it.
