I am doing some work for uni on dataflow computers, and am wondering
what is the current state of development on them.  Has anyone built
a working computer, if so how fast did it run?  Were all the
problems solved?

I know putting extra complexity into hardware is not popular at
the moment with all the RISC chips, so I gather dataflow computers
never really took off.
