Right? From the comments in the article,

I agree. User doesn't know what he's doing yet.
One tip I would offer him is avoid Firefox. Firefox is built with Rust[1], which doesn't support ARM as a Tier 1 platform. He would be MUCH better off using Chromium, which supports numerous ARM Chromebooks running this exact CPU just fine.

- steveklabnik 6y agoIt's funny you should mention that; first of all, Chomebooks also run Rust code, at a really low layer. (Also, it appears the Chrome team is experimenting with putting Rust in Chrome too; no clue how serious or how likely though). The hypervisor stuff is in it. Secondly, ARM is on its way to Tier 1, supported by the company itself. (I use Chrome these days...)
- throwaway189262 6y agoRust benefits from optimizations in LLVM, same compiler chrome uses. You are right that they might be missing some hand optimized ASM for some routines, but I don't think that's enough that performance would be a lot worse.
