Ditch arm, skip RPI, ignore STM-32, and scoff at TI, .. RISC-V is the future.

Can you point to any parts that are in full production and have a 5-7 year supply horizon?

Since I like to build custom electronics using JLCPCB, I went on there and looked for RISC-V chips. I found the ESP32-C3 and a dozen or so Chinese chips that seemed to only have Chinese datasheets. It seems that things are still pretty immature in RISC-V adoption. I will be getting a ESP32-C3 dev board to tinker with at least.

The projects I work on need long time horizons and industrial or automotive environmental specs. RISC-V will be hardware cosplay (h/t n-gate!) until that time, as far as I can see it.
