Stop supporting 32-bit platforms #4564

Open
@SeanTAllen

Description

We are considering dropping support for 32-bit platforms and only supporting 64-bit ones. We are a small group of volunteers and supporting 32-bit platforms is a bit difficult.

  • We can only do CI via QEMU which is far from awful but is also not so easy.
  • Getting development hardware for doing 32-bit support is non-trivial in some cases.
  • We experience what seem like bugs in dependencies far more on 32-bit than 64-bit platforms
  • We have a limited amount of time and devoting it to 32-bit platforms that we suspect aren't being used, seems wasteful when we could devote that time to other tasks

We'd like to hear if anyone is actively using Pony for serious work on any 32-bit platforms and if yes, what you are doing with it. To that end, we have opened this issue. If you can't talk about what you are doing publicly, please reach out to me privately via email.
