RISC-V seems to be the equivalent of Go in so many ways, stylistic simplicity at the expense of performance and actual simplicity. That doesn't make it bad, just flawed like everything else.
It won't take over user<->device centric computing (desktop/laptop/tablet/high end mobile). It might become the ubiquitious IoT processor, but the divergence of chip capabilities (and subsequent OS & ABI fragmentation) means nothing will be interoperable, even at source code level. When I compare that to the extreme interoperability of RPi + Pico Pi devices (even with all their painful flaws) I know which one I would prefer.
