Support of ARM CPU

Can PB run on ARM CPU, OS as Linux or Window?
If not, what is the plan (road map) of PB on this platform?

I shouldn't say it because it's way to early (no ETA, only very small programs works), but I'm actually working on it ! Now, back to code

Yahooooooooo!

Is this LLVM or are you composing ASM direct?

Good news.
What ARM cores are in the plans?
Will there be support for Cortex-M (microcontrollers STM32, etc.)?
Will it be a native application?

And I already wanted to answer SkyManager that this is a very naive wish

Like usually, i not really all understand, but even the little bit i have understand and mainly the title "Support of ARM CPU" make me nearly in the same state

Well now, this makes sense. ARM works on Linux for ages, Windows also supports it solidly, and now Apple appears to be turning to it on desktops/laptops as well.

Go Fred!!!

Why is ARM support so exciting for PureBasic's future?

Imagine hitting compile and now your app works on twice as many computers(including Raspberry Pi's) before ARM support?
AMD's chart shows the total addressable market for processors across embedded, mobile, PC, console, and server segments by architecture. The gray bars in the middle of the chart lump together Power, Sparc, MIPS, various mainframe, and other proprietary chips. Interestingly, you can see that the percentage of the market supported by X86 processors has fallen in recent years, but is expected to stabilize by AMD’s estimates, while ARM chips will see their share of the chip pie grow.

Because more and more a device with an ARM processor.
On your smartphone, tablet, smart TV, which processor?
And there are devices Raspberry Pi and Banana Pi with ARM processor.
Intel x86-x64 processor is now only in PC.
