Is clockless useful in the face of modern ASIC tools? Not that you were suggesting in either direction, but it's been something in the back of my head for a while now.

Sure, there's a slight power and latency advantage in avoiding flip flops themselves but every tool has slack stealing and so the core advantage everyone seems to claim clockless (that is, the ability to have different latencies for all your different pipelines) isn't that unique anymore and hasn't been for a long time. Is it dead, can I stop worrying about the async demons :)
