Well, we weren't talking about the desktop, were we? Especially when Java is involved. (Unless, of course, it is Java code development, in which case Linux is still a better platform anyway.)
- rat9988 6y ago>Well, we weren't talking about desktop, were we? It is implied. To be accurate, it started being implied when mac os has been brought into discussion.
- ogre_codes 6y agoIs there even a Windows ARM server platform which the public can port software to?
- justincormack 6y agoThere is no publically available Windows Server Arm, no.
- jareds 6y agoI'm not concerned about the server. If the performance were good and Microsoft's built in Narrator screen reader worked well with vscode I could use an arm computer for all my hobby programming now. I don't know how well Narrator works with vscode but unfortunately as far as I can tell NVDA is not being ported to arm. Yet another example of the lack of software. I'd consider getting a cheep Windows ARM laptop to investigate porting it but it looks like everything is over $500.
- nitrogen 6y agoEspecially when Java is involved Uh, what? Java started as a write-once-run-anywhere platform for applications. Java gained popularity as a browser plugin for richer UIs. Significant amounts of enterprise and in-house software are written in Java using AWT/Swing, SWT, etc.
