Wonder how much of the world’s code is dependent on x86 versus being processor agnostic Or to come at it another way, what percent of the world’s deployed x86 capacity is devoted to running directly compiled code versus some sort of bytecode from an abstraction layer or two away
Is there an x86 to ARM porting workflow? Do you just recompile source or does code have to be manually reoptimized for ARM or something?

Recompiling source, but then one has to find&replace x86-specific dependencies with ARM, and if that code isn't OSS or available, you are free to implement it yourself... I understand that Debian garuntees ARM for packages in their repo, so one might submit a bug in that case...

Thankfully? AFAIK, there's no separate optimizations for ARM, as their (Reduced)instruction set is a subset of the x86, the code just misses out on CISC optimizations
