has there been any research/experiments with serious hardware-software codesign or isomorphism? kind of like apple but also beyond things like just using an ISA

There's AI, quantum computing, lab grown meat, genetic engineering, security and data, better iterations of current technology, and so on. These get talked about often.

What things arent being talked about that much, that you think may have a significant impact in the next 20 years?

In terms of hardware, systems software, end user software. I think higher level software is an area that can be improved greatly but Im curious if there are any opinions on the lower levels of the compute stack.

Perhaps the hardware landscape we're in is a shallow minimum that we're just stuck with. Perhaps other computer architectures like Lisp would allow much more efficient hardware in general?

Perhaps OS's and high performance libraries are designed badly leading to inefficiencies all round?
