Re: Venus – RISC-V Simulator
#2I am older and seen a lot of tech come and go. RISC-V feels to me like something that will be huge.
There is so much momentum already. Not many things catch on that quick. But when they do they end up huge.

It's worth noting the age of RISC-V, according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC-V) it originated as a 'short, three-month project over the summer' in 2010. So ~8 and a bit years old. It's taken a while to really take-off but now it does really seem to be picking up momentum. Though no serious use in production hardware that I'm aware of.
Perhaps a good comparison point is LLVM. It too originated as an academic project. Again looking at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LLVM) it started development in 2000, first release 2003, Lattner hired by Apple to develop it 2005, Clang released by Apple 2007 (so ~7 years from initial LLVM creation to serious production use potentially less depends when Apple were using it internally).

I do believe Western Digital is going to start shipping their products with RISC-V processors soon

You can't really compare hardware with software.
It's just a question of opportunity for change.
RISC-V while take on when there's a reason to not use ARM and if it's better than the competition (eg: MIPS).

No licensing fees.

#7Would be cool if the editor came with some samples so that I could check out all the features of the tool (like 8bitworkshop.com).

Or maybe it will end up like OpenStack

The size of RISC-V all depends on the decisions by the salespeople over at ARM.
If they see the threat and dramatically reduce prices, ARM will stay dominant while RISCV remains a 'maybe one day' thing.
If they miss the threat, the industry will switch over to RISCV, and ARM will go bankrupt.
The whole RISCV project exists as a bargaining chip against ARM.

Yes, but the important part was once RISC-V left the university. That's when its rise actually started for real.

So I agree, it takes 7 years. RISC-V is already in production in many places by now.
