[gopher] Gopher server running on ARM?

[Kim Holviala]

Damn! Nokia's N9 only does top-posting. *shame*

Dotnet applications will run on ARM without modifications, while C/C++ apps only need an recompile. So there's no reason for the app shortage, it's just that developers (paid ones) are lazy... they released on "working" binary, why should they ever release another? The money is coming in, so why bother?

Then I'm surprised to hear again and again that it will take a
long time until we have a good choice of apps for Windows/ARM or
Intel-based tablets.
