yes - one of the reasons behind Dragonfly conception was that it's hard to write high-performant code for all architectures at the same time. Ditching ARM64 and others means much cleaner codebase and less effort to maintain all of this.
- webaholic 5y agoIf portability of other OSes has taught us anything, it is that the interfaces are much cleaner if you are to support multiple architectures. I think it comes down to having people/companies interested in porting it to ARM64, not about cleaner codebases.
- nix23 5y agoYou are absolutely correct, however DragonFly focused since the beginning on x86, that was the target platform for a cluster and the architecture every dev had. Maybe it's time to rethink that.
