Re: Don't people ever write portable code?
"Compiling for 32 bit isn't a problem. Doubling the amount of time they have to devote to testing is."
To quote the post you were replying to:
"We can have entire operating systems (NetBSD) that can be compiled on any architecture, for any architecture, with every single piece of the OS compiling and running just fine on a plethora of CPUs"
NetBSD can do this and, I'm sure, test. Maybe they use these new-fangles computers to automate testing.
