Yes, good points. It’s worth remembering that the surviving CISC architectures (x86 and z/370) are less CISCy than VAX and 68k were, in terms of number of address operands and complexity of addressing modes. And ARM is not a classically RISCy RISC. Instruction sets seem to have converged on a pragmatic middle ground — except for RISCV :-) |

Oh, it also is (very) pragmatic. It's just the sort of pragmatism culture that from the outside gets often misunderstood as "purism" :-)
