I do severely disagree. Something is different with RISC-V as this is a modern ISA and is not locked by some absurd PI in many places in the world like x86_64 and arm, not to mention it is seems the RISC-V guys are actually "doing it". Ofc, RISC-V can still fail as it needs extremely performant implementations all over the board (mobile/server/workstation/"embedded"), and will have to survive the mistakes of its big CPU vendors (usually accute micro-arch bugs). About what you call "evolution" of computer languages, well after decades of coding, that "evolution" is to me mostly tantrums from developers and a scam: "planned obsolescence" and "developer locking" for the benefits of few vendors, that to justify permanent income. I now believe the people doing that are brain-washed, or actually really toxic people (a liability for humanity as a whole). Not to mention, those issues are exponentially boosted by language syntax complexity, with the worst being c++ and now rust. Of course, I did shape this opinion after decades of coding, this is will be alien to short term-ists or inexperienced people. From this global perspective, I think the real way forward would not be to code a kernel in rust, but to code one in RISC-V, and I was voicing my disagrement here, on HN, even though the pro-rust/AI bots are performing accute karma slash only because I have different views on the matter and voicing it... But some people made me think more about the issue of the computer language extremists a bit more, and now I am thinking RISC-V... as a computer language, namely with its "compiler" generating code for other ISA (not a JIT). I may have a look at that in the near future as RISC-V as a computer language should be much more resilient to syntax "planned obsolescence" and "vendor/developer lock-in for permanent income via compiler/syntax grotesque complexity". Hopefully, I did open the eyes of some non AI bots here, while providing some different paths of moving forward.
