A comment on Box64 and RISC-V in 2024: What It Takes to Run the Witcher 3 on RISC-V. Parent comment
False premise, as size tool shows RVA20(RV64GC) binaries were already smallest among 64bit architectures.
Code gets smaller still (rather than larger) with newer extensions such as B in RVA22.
As of recently, the same is true in 32bit when comparing rv32 against former best (thumb2). But it was quite close before to begin with.
