I think most programming languages and associated tools will start supporting ARM64 as a first class citizen. The current lack of support isn't due to apathy, just constraints around ARM64 not being popular for desktop development. For example, it's difficult to support a platform that isn't well supported by your CI/CD provider.<p>Linus Torvalds previously said that ARM on the server would never be a thing since developers didn't run ARM on their personal machines. Since this assumption is no longer true, the ecosystem of tools will now support ARM better and we'll see ARM on the server become a major thing in a few year's time.
If one was ever curious why the security research device program should have been open to everyone and available without restrictions: part of this work was done on a jailbroken iOS device and QEMU. I doubt anyone would have been able put in that work had they not had access to that.
Of all the niche languages out there I'd like to see break into the mainstream Ocaml is my favorite. It seems to hit a sweet spot between pragmatism and elegance.
Does anybody know what’s the status with bitcode support?
Last info from about 1.5 years ago was that the Golang and Rust toolchain did not support it, but also Apple did not make it mandatory.<p>What is the current state? Does ocaml support bitcode?
By reading the stream of comments on the PR, and from my own experience, I feel that it is extremely cumbersome to do code reviews on Github. Atlassian's Fisheye/Crucible looks like a better solution. Does anyone think otherwise? I think Github has a large room of improvement in this regard; a PR is not the same as an issue.
