Now riscv is the future.

 I don't know. From what I learned, RISC-V
is strongly compiler-oriented. They wrote,
for example, that it lacks any condition codes.
Only conditional branches are predicated on
examining the contents of registers at the time
of the branch. No "add with carry" nor "subtract
with carry". From an assembly point of view, the
lack of a carry flag is a PITA if you desire to
do multi-word mathematical manipulation of numbers.
 So it seems, that the RISC-V architecture is intended
to be used by compilers generating code from high level
languages.

I read somewhere:
The standard is now managed by RISC-V International, which
has more than 3,000 members and which reported that more
than 10 billion chips containing RISC-V cores had shipped
by the end of 2022. Many implementations of RISC-V are
available, both as open-source cores and as commercial
IP products.
You call that compiler-oriented???
