    The YouTube channel Asianometry recently had a video about the Multiflow:

    and that led to them making another video, an interview with Joseph A.
    "Josh" Fisher, the man behind it:

    In that video, he noted that a lot of chips with a VLIW architecture are
    still being sold, so it isn't a "failed" technology.
    I was aware of the TMS320C6000 as a VLIW chip that still existed, but I
    didn't know if it was really popular.
    However, in researching the subject further, I encountered a mention of
    the ST200 which apparently is still widely used for embedded video
    processing.

    But by VLIW standards it's rather narrow.
