I'm sure that there's plenty of operating systems where there isn't "userland" in the common sense.

CL is quite unlike Rust, but I've actually found lots of similarities between CL and C++: religiously stressing backwards compatibility and the ability to run very old software, providing the ability to hook and customize as many thing

If you wanted something similar (cross-platform native code, "traditional" controls, low hardware requirements, fairly rapid development), you could also use Ultimate++ ( https://www.ultimatepp.org ).

It's not 2D mode, though. That's just bog-standard 3D (unless there's some software that can do 2D-in-VR and has only 2D and VR modes -- is there any? Something like Age of Empires VR Edition?)

It may not beat Stugna-P but it should beat Javelin when it comes to not exposing yourself. Also I imagine that such a vehicle could perhaps carry other payloads, too.

But 40 mph is 64.36 km/h, isn't it? So perhaps it turns on under 60 km/h in Germany and under 64.36 km/h everywhere else? For some weird legal reasons?

True, there are other uses. However some people seem to be pointing out that on average, the RISC-V code is still smaller on average. As for unrolling, isn't this a job for RV64V?
