To keep it on topic, there is programmable hardware available where you can change the hardware using a hardware programming language. Niklaus Wirth is interested in such technology. Instead of soldering in capacitors and resistors, you program in something that emulates a resistor or capacitor. This makes prototyping circuits much easier because instead of soldering, you program in the devices you would have otherwise soldered. The devices are called Field-programmable gate array's I think, and from what I remember Niklaus Wirth was programming a remote control helicopter with it, or maybe oberon, it's been so long that I cannot remember the details. Just trying to keep it a bit on topic.
