Ask HN: Why are these implementations of DCPU16 interesting?

I understand that people are excited about it, but are we really going to go through every permutation of language and component for this architecture on Hacker News's front page? I just feel like everybody raced to develop one to be first.

I'm sorry to break this to you, but it's a not a novel feat of engineering, as it's a very simple architecture. I'm not sure why people are upvoting these, and I wish the novelty would wear off so we could focus on more important things. Certainly I am proud of a devoted hacker community for throwing all their weight into something new and interesting, but it's worn off for me already on HN.

I'd be happy to see them in one thread, honestly. Just trying to figure out why these are significant news items, that's all. Based on the reaction to this toy architecture, I would pay to see HN's reaction to being shown MMIX for the first time.
