One nit to pick: as far as I am aware, "aarch64" and "arm64" are the same thing. Am I off?



They are the same thing but there used to be two competing LLVM implementations on the backend side.

I love how he ranted so hard - without even mentioning the embedded or realtime variants.


What I see in Python is that "aarch64" usually refers to Linux and "arm64" usually refers to MacOS ARM. I don't know enough about these things to understand why they have different names.
