> The x86 instruction set is very very big. According to rough statistics, the ARM64 backend implements more than 1,600 x86 instructions in total, while the RV64 backend implements about 1,000 instructions

This is just insane and gets us full-circle to why we want RISC-V.

I want somebody to make a GPT fine tune that specializes in converting instructions and writing tests. If you made it read all x86 docs a bunch and risc v docs, a lot of this could be automated.
