I wasn't even referring to CRuby, I was referring to YJIT especially. For now, it only works on x86_64 Unix like systems (Linux and mac). I doubt that someone will ever port YJIT codegen to these "esoteric" architectures, so rust platform support is enough.

My bad, that's really not what I understood from your initial statement. But yes agreed.

The only real downside is discussed on the ticket. Ruby is primarily installed from source, so requiring a second toolchain is not ideal.

While those that were willing to make it happen, now have to wait until Rust/Zig supports their esoteric architecture.
