Speaking of it, THIS would be a killer product.

A program gets compiled down to x86/x64 assembly, and you take that LL file and generate an FPGA from it.

Of course there's a lot of limitations in regards to OS APIs, but those could be represented with an SDK (e.g. a network socket API that is compatible with linux's headers and leads to a NIC being controlled with a firmware replacement).
