Why are specialized runtimes a good idea? It's so much stuff to 
get perfect, for what benefit?

What part of reimplementing exception handling helps me write a 
better lap time optimizer?

For target support diversity is useful but if you said "We're 
writing a new runtime implementation, no new features for a 
month" to your boss they would rightly be confused.
