@jens @csepp Sure, why not? (I'm sure lots of people out there could tell us why not, regardless if they have a better suggestion)

Or why not MIPS? I thought for a while that that the VM target of the future might be the non-patent-encumbered subset of MIPS. RISC-V makes more sense at this point.

Or Parrot VM bytecode? I'm thinking that if it's a deliberate decision for the longevity of compiled code, a physical CPU architecture is probably not the right format. LLVM IR has been mentioned here in the thread, that might be good if the spec is stable.

But it probably won't be deliberate but emergent, and in that case I'm assuming we're better off with RISC-V than with x86.
