Topic: Implementing the 32-bit backends


view this post on Zulip Luke Boswell (Aug 25 2026 at 23:07):

Would anyone be interested in working on a 32-bit backend (other than WASM) for roc? We have talked about it but we haven't implemented one yet.

Around about now (pre-0.1) would be the ideal time to do this. We might discover we have somehow coupled the 32-bit structures too much to WASM and need to unpick and fix that which risks breaking things.

I don't have any hardware or much capacity to really focus on it, but would be happy to help anyone.
