I expect RISC-V to be a top architecture platform for systems
researchers doing open science, including some language/compilers
researchers. And for CS students in systems classes.
RISC-V is also looking to be important for a more open hardware platform
for some industry, and for nations and user bases who care about that.
This is a good, accessible overview of RISC-V, by Krste Asanovic:

I'd love to see Racket started towards RISC-V, by being tested working
well on the current RISC-V boards (and on a good open source emulator).
BTW, a second-priority, open-ish target architecture that might be also
be on the horizon for Racket is Power9. Were Racket to also go there, I
think it would make sense for IBM / Red Hat to fund that, somehow. (If
someone wanted to do this unfunded, you could use an emulator, and ask
raptorcs.com to kindly let you have remote access to a Talos II. But
IBM doesn't need charity. :) Power9 would not be done to the exclusion
of RISC-V, but be complementary.
(I also still use amd64/x86, arm, and (openwrt) mips, of course. No
slights to those.)

Hi all,
I'm just wondering if anyone here has experience running Racket on
Debian on RISC-V, either positive or negative. There is a Debian
package, at least, but language implementations are often one of the
more challenging things to make reliable on a new architecture.
In case it matters, the GUI part is not relevant for what I'm interested in.
Thanks!
David
