It doesn't seem like th author has a very clear grasp of what 64-bit word sizes actually allow over 32 bit. Here's a hint - not much. Sure, eventually more ram and more registers (which is very important but not really inherent to 64 bit as far as I know). It seems like the author thinks 64 bit magically makes things run faster or easier to develop for - neither of these are true except in the very small minority of circumstances. I'll leave with this: Nintendo came out with a 64 bit game console ~15 years ago at half the cost of the iPhone. This is not ground breaking stuff.
