The decent performance is on its way, all that with enough modern hardware features to be a "big implementation" (à la x86_64).
Then RISC-V assembly will be the new C.
It is going to be a long road and a difficult one: the market is already saturated with mature micro-architectures with ISAs completely locked down with Intellectual Property and that by very few vendors. This is really hard, can still fail
- ladyanita22 2y ago> Then RISC-V assembly will be the new C. Yeah, I don't think so
- uticus 2y ago> Then RISC-V assembly will be the new C. What is meant by this?

- llm_trw 2y agoRISC-V is pleasant to write and simple enough to write an reasonably performing interpreter for I guess. Note I am not OP and I do not endorse this message.
- sylware 2y agoYep, and since C was mostly used as an ISA abstraction, then with a real, good enough, worldwide royalty free ISA and not vendor locked, we can expect much more assembly written libraries and programs. A side effect is to kiss bye bye significantly to the planned obsolescence of much system software and some computer language syntaxes.
- snvzz 2y agoIt's not reasonable to expect people who like programming in C or other high level languages to suddenly switch to RISC-V assembly. But I do expect some programs written in assembly to show up, because it doesn't happen very often than a new, modern open ISA like RVA20/RV64GC shows up with a promise of very long term compatibility. And because assembly is still fun, and will forever be.
