I agree with everything but the "This only works on x86". I'm not saying that everything runs smoothly on arm, but I think it really is the future. Either that, or risc-v. I doubt riscv will garner a mainstream adoption anytime soon though, but one could only dream.

well yeah arm is definitely the future, but edge cases and undefined behavior make parity between the instruction sets a major pain
