Computercraft is a fantastic way to have computers in the game. To clarify; I specifically meant advance the status of redstone cpus. My goal is to use Computercraft as portions of the cpu itself as little as possible, mainly for things that wouldnt be possible otherwise. I'm thinking of using it for the rom storage, just because of the large amount of data I could store in such a small footprint. I also plan on attempting to make a keyboard with the touchscreen monitors, so that inputs are possible without sprinting across a chunk and a half.
I haven't heard a comparison of what I want to do with the style of processor you're talking about, so I'm definitely going to go do more research before I dare shed light on that matter.
And finally, vanilla redstone holds us back in two major ways: speed and footprint. Project red will allow me to reduce the footprint in a couple of ways: bundled cables, redstone that carried further than 16 block without repeated, and one block logic gates. I don't plan on using the ICs that are in the pack, save for a few special gates that the pack doesn't include, such as configged buyers, for this iteration, but maybe in the future for a faster rebuild. All of the aforementioned logic gates also have a delay of one tick, significantly speeding up even simple logic functions.
