@tulpenkiste RISC-V is definitely optimistic, but i wouldn't rule it out for the future! given valve's titanium reliance on 32-bit x86, i don't think anyone was really expecting valve to even sniff at ARM until dataminers discovered otherwise. keep in mind also, that they only did this for their VR headset likely because it's a strong market trend with technical backing behind it. ARM desktop gaming is still quite a ways away, and RISC-V hasn't hit web browsing reliability yet.

either way, we will 100% be running translation layers until morale improves, though. my best hope is that x86, ARM, and RISC-V coexist in such a way where codebases trend towards platform agnosticism, and cross-compilation becomes a mostly-trivial effort. a girl can dream!
