This is for both development on ARM systems (standard go commands, eg: go build, etc) and deploying to ARM systems (setting ARM as a compile target). That said, I'm genuinely curious why anyone would develop on an ARM-based system as opposed to your run of the mill desktop.

I realize that standard towers may be supplanted by their SoC brethren, but so what? Will we all be using iMac-like computers as desktops in the next 36-72 months? Will there even be any differentiation between "regular" desktops with discrete CPUs, memory, etc and the system-on-a-chip variant?
