I have been working on briging AArch64 to Uber, recently posted at Uber's Arm64 journey - #3 by motiejus

Work on AArch64 piqued my interest to the platform — I am currently going through ARM 64-Bit Assembly Language by Pyeatt and Ughetta. Having researched it, the prospects seem promising (especially power and cooling requirements). I am curious to see if can actually deliver it. And be part of the process.

Hi Motiejus! I just watched you “How Uber uses zig” talk from last year: How Zig is used at Uber - Motiejus Jakštys - YouTube - now I know how to pronounce your name!

I suspect the Lithuanian perspective on the Cold War might be different from the one taught in the US, too :slight_smile:
