Re: what about RPi?
I expect there to be billions of 32bit ARM systems being produced for many years to come, the IoT isn't going to go significantly 64bit for many years if ever. There are still many 8bit systems being produced!
Yep, I realise this… I write code for some of them, mainly AVR. It'll probably be decades before the Linux-based stuff is all 64-bit ARM, as it's presently the new-kid-on-the-block. Embedded is a very conservative market and rarely does 64-bit address space make sense.
It will happen some day though, yes, 8-bit is still around, but your home router is likely going to be a 32-bit machine now, and some day, they may go 64-bit there when the chips are considered "worthwhile".
