>>IMO vfp is trapped on Intel. I want to see the performance on ARM first before musing further about vfp everywhere in the next decade ;-)
LOL. IMHO VFP is a meme now. A development system that works on a prevalent OS or potentially more than one, has hot performance, deploys easily, relies on static runtimes that don't force cycles of self-important updates that can break things, doesn't string together disparate systems that promise to work together like cats and dogs, and demonstrably lasts in its current iteration for longer than a firefly. Where, oh where is it?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
