@wolf480pl@mstdn.io @argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org @rygorous@mastodon.gamedev.place @regehr@mastodon.social @steve@discuss.systems I don't know the VAX ISA very well, but although 68k was clearly inspired by a few features of VAX, it's nowhere near as aggressively CISCy - at least not in its first few iterations (the 68020 added some wacky stuff).
