Re: The future. (was Re: Parsing timestamps?)

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. Therefore I rather still prefer that "closed"
ARM arch. Besides: it's more ubiquitous and cheaper.
