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
Yeah, the flutter engine itself is shipped as a pre-built binary, and there are a few major libraries that rely on native extensions that the tooling needs to be set up to cross-compile for

Does Flutter ship binary components where the target architecture would matter?

imo, pretty exciting

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.

I miss SPARC, from Sun microsystems.
Make it happen :)

This seems to be a great development.
