I've thought for a while now that NIX might still have interesting things to
say in the middle of the space, even if the HPC origins didn't work out.
Probably most of us are walking around with systems with asymmetrical cores
("performance" vs. "efficiency") in our pockets right now; it seems like
there's lots of space to explore *how* differently to manage these cores (as
opposed to just spinning them up or not when needed but treating them as
"regular").
I think it's a good idea. But...

This is really good framing... even if it's bad for my idea. 🤣 "Compute that's
"cpu-limited" at multi-second scales" really cuts out most applications at
modern scale. Plenty of things like pro workflows, but the higher up you move
there, the more likely you're pushing to GPUs anyway. I think the window isn't
0, but it's shrunk quite a bit.
