Prioritizing the Hardware Roadmap: RISC-V vs. WebAssembly

Context

EdgeFlow plans to expand backend support, with RISC-V and WebAssembly (WASM) being top candidates.

Given limited contributor bandwidth, we need to prioritize which backend provides more immediate value.

Discussion Points

• Which target has higher real-world adoption in edge deployments?
• Which backend is easier to validate and benchmark?
• Are contributors more interested in hardware or sandboxed runtimes?
• How does each option align with future GSoC projects?

Goal

Gauge community interest to prioritize the Backend Expansion GSoC project effectively.
