And, similar to that situation, there's clearly a lot of software / compilers work to be done here

Of course. In general, in reversible computing, there is FAR too much work that still needs to be done than I, or my research group, or even a dozen similarly-sized groups could possibly do in any reasonable timeframe. That's why this field really needs MASSIVE levels of R&D investment to make progress, i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars, and hundreds of dedicated engineers and software developers working on it, AT LEAST. But, it can yield similarly massive returns for the industry if that's done.
