Why does anyone ever need an FPGA? 

Ross Freeman and some Zilog engineers came up with the idea that a microcontroller should be software definable then started Xilinx in 1984 - I think they still own like 50% market share of the FPGA market https://i.imgur.com/a6CX64F.jpg

Made me think about it because I was thinking about all these new RISC-V FPGAs that I’ve been hearing about more and more

I think RISC will be how we figure out trusted decentralized compute (without blockchain)
