and, honestly, RISC-V is the right place to spend it. RISC has super powers.
What do you mean by that. RISC-V is open source but it doesn't have "superpowers" that I know of?
"reduced" is the super power. I would much rather put the smarts into the assembler/compiler/interpreter than the silicon. have been followed RISC since the 80's and discovered that I am really a RISC guy living in CISC world. open arch is the world dominating cherry-on-top.
This is a purely theoretical arguement.
Ecosystem momentum makes this argument mute.
meh (not dismissive - just cute), ecosystem mootness is overrated. at the heart of every CISC beats a RISC. strip away the mask and lets poke the nuclear core.
