You might find this interesting. It is Yale U announcing VLIW  reasoning in the 80's. More work with less iron and from my perspective, instructions ordered at compile time makes for fewer clocking issues.

At the moment the stumbling blocks appears to be the lack of a robust memory subsystem and flakieness in ram which seem to be due to the limitations in current nano-manufacturing techniques used for ram chipsets. Notwithstanding my complaints about dirty AC's involvement in bit flipping.
