Zed on Linux is out! - jlai.lu

Installer is piping curl into shell

I thought we were past this as a society 😔

Linux - Zed

ooh, available for “x86_65” on Alpine

(and they’ve fixed that now)

imagine the nightmare of writing a 65 bit instruction set

I don’t think it has to be a nightmare per se if you start from scratch.

Instead of 8-bit bytes, you have 5-bit “bytes” (fyves?) Hoozah! Done.

only if double precision can be called high fyves
This is a mandatory rule now.

Now imagine designing a 65 bit computer. The bus, registers, alu…

You’ll probably waste a lotta chips since most of them are designed for working with powers of 2

It’s a new architecture that’s a bit better than x64_64.

Finally. 65 bit processor.
