One example given in the article is Erlang VM which maps a lot better to modern processors.

We currently have a problem where we can't have thousands of cores because, even today, so much code is designed to be fast on one core.

We really have to move the asynchronous programming because synchronizing async hardware is both complex and inefficient.

RISC V is probably going to help since it allows for a lot of experimentation.
