A compiler for X86 and ARM at the same time

SamuraiX[13~] — Sun, 01 Jun 2025 16:21:44 +0000

I'm thinking about making a compiler for C/C++ that can generate code that works on both X86 and ARM, am I sure I can make it? honestly not at all, I never really had interactions with inside of compilers but I think it's a fun project and may be possible. What do you guys think? I honestly want this because I believe the main reason some developers mostly avoided/avoiding ARM support is because of the extra work and adoption, but I'm also a fan of ARM in general so I want it to be more acknowledged.

As first thought I'm thinking about tweaking Fat binary method, but surely we will see changes in decision if it doesn't work out like planned, I'm planning for a rather less size while maintaining performance.

I'm planning to start the project in about 1.5-2 weeks, if you are interested and want to contribute to project or even just follow it to see how it's going, I would gladly make a GitHub repository and a place specific for this project in Discord or something, and of course will gladly share the progress here as well

Your honest thoughts about AI

Here is mine, I feel like it makes humans dangerously lazy, it's not AI's fault technically it's ours fault but still...

When I look back and see great programmers did a great job when they had access to rather very little sources, I lose morale thinking even with all this tools I can't achieve a level like that, I mean not that programming is the only factor in life of course, but I think stuff getting easier and easier is holding us back from using our true intelligence as a human being

Game developers who are not artists, how do you manage?

I remember tons of ideas I had to make games, and honestly I would love to make a game or two, but each time I eventually abandoned the projects because I couldn't make a graphic at all, both 2D and 3D unfortunately
