    Very exciting - however, I spend most of my time building apps in Flutter, which is also a Google project, so I expect that it will receive RISC-V support about as the sun is burning out

    Edit: looking at the bug trackers, it seems like there is actually some movement on this, so maybe my cynicism is misplaced

    Way cool.

    In my mind, RISC-V serves but one purpose: to put ARM in its place. It needs to exist to reduce the temptation for anti-competitive practices.
