Top notch article as always, I hope it will motivate more hobbyists to play with microcode - it is not just for CPUs but complex and fast application specific processors can be implemented (e.g. GPU drawing routines). For one of my projects I wrote 2 microcoded custom processors, one to write to memory by consuming Intel HEX ASCII stream, and the other vice versa. Most of hardware was generated from the microcode itself - https://hackaday.io/project/181664-intel-hex-files-for-fpgas-no-embedded-cpus
