Re:MIPS Becomes RISC-V by saagarjha on Monday March 08, 2021 @04:48PM (#26392105)
Not entirely related, but I found MARS (http://courses.missouristate.edu/KenVollmar/MARS/) to be much nicer to use than SPIM.

More on topic, though, RISC-V seems to really be designed in a way that makes it easy to teach. This is partially why I have doubts that it can be made very performant, but the focus of a prettier design over a more practical one is probably going to help it be more accessible to students.
