OK. Just keep in mind that if you want to “cross the chasm” from
visionaries to pragmatics, it requires meeting 100% of the needs
of at least one niche (whether that's real-time, bare-metal,
desktop apps, web servers, data analysis, mobile apps, or
whatever).
It does no good to meet 90% of the needs of many niches.
