Michael, thank you, you have given me quite a lot to think about.

i think the stuck state you're interpreting is a misrepresentation
that HPC is full of stodgy greybeards who only want to run MPI code
written in 1970's fortran.  i don't think that's the case anymore.
HPC has branched out and includes a lot of ancillary paths, but it
still holds onto its heritage, which is something I appreciate.  HPC
has never been about flash, it's about solving the world's hardest
problems.  You don't always need a porsche, sometimes a yugo works
just as well
