Hmm. I think you're going to have problems with thermodynamics here.
While it is possible to perform computations using chemical reactions,
an *energy source* is required to drive the process. The word
"nutrients" implies a substance containing chemical energy, but in that
case no garbage-colle

Oh! A cruel jibe!

Hi
It is worded as biotech but may as
well be molecular computing or nanotech.
biotech machines tend to be inaccurate, but highly parallel.
Unfortunately the G machine is very un-parallel and requires 100%
precision. Things like speculative evaluation may be more interesting.

I look forward to the day when the OS will notice that a binary was
compiled from haskell, and therefore is provably not buggy due to
haskells strong type system. So it happily turns off all
memory protection and lets it run on the bare hardware at full speed. :)
This is not entirely unreasonable,
A native G-machine --- physical, or chemical, or biological, but not a
repressed simulation over the imperative cpu-memory architecture --- is
the dream of every lazy-functional programmer of great devotion. If only
it became the dominant computing architecture! People would say, Haskell
