Am very delighted by the news; some of computer science's mot problematic problems stem from the space complexity issue - the need for enormous amounts of space / memory to realize a solution. But with such innovations as these, such hurdles will continue to be overcome, and who knows what problems might then become tractable? Talk of brute-forcing into previously feared domains!

This is a beautiful advance for us all :)
