In the unlikely event someone does manage to replace the assembler with something portable it would be somewhat ironic that RISC-V targets would start to be viable.
I grew up on RISC OS, and even I'm mystified as to quite why it has persisted in some quarters for so long.
Now if we could only emulate a late 80s British Supermarket, complete with the 'computers for schools' vouchers, we'd have the full Pinter-esque kitchen-sink mundanity of the UK microprocessor/RISC computing scene captured.
