Eric Drexler did suggest that Feynman like molecular manufacturing could be feasible within five to fifteen years by means of protein folding, but as the 1990's came to a close, the protein folding enabling technology pathway seemed all but closed.
Well, this new development actually hasn't been confirmed yet anyways; but even if it does work out, I find it remarkable researchers didn't think of this earlier; just comes to show that Humanity is facing some human thinking and computational limitations as it progressed towards the future.

The problem is that you have to do these search optimizations really carefully otherwise you're guaranteeing you'll miss global optima (in this case, how the proteins actually fold as opposed to how you now think that they fold).

For all intents and purposes, we have infinite computational needs
