Hell no. Far too many registers, not enough instructions, and (especially with ARM64) weird restrictions that arose from trying to pack things into 32-bit instructions as efficiently as possible.
I've been writing x86 Asm for a few decades. RISCs are simpler in all the wrong ways. After all, "just use a (stupid) compiler" was the whole philosophy.
- t-3 5mo agoArm64 has plenty of instructions (although some convenient instructions listed in the ISA manuals seem to be rarely available in consumer hardware), and more registers is always better. I do find the lack of wide immediates annoying, but otherwise the fixed-width instruction set doesn't bother me at all.
