The challenge is that reformulating problems to parallel computation steps is something we're in general still really bad at.

We're struggling with taking full advantage of GPUs and many-core CPUs as it is.

FPGAs is one step up in complexity.

I'd expect JIT'ing to FPGA acceleration to show up other than as very limited research prototypes after people have first done a lot more research on JIT'ed auto-parallelisation to multiple CPU cores or GPUs.
