On the plus side, all these tools for running x86/64 code on ARM likely helps a lot with running that same code on RISC.
I’d love it if we got to the point where Linux just brought the translation layers with it and automatically ran code compiled for any processor on any other processor. It’s not efficient, but it would be very useful.
What we really need is a big boost to RISC. But I guess a boost to ARM will do while we wait…
