I worked with a kernel dev at an industrial embedded company who absolutely loved longsoon and insisted we add it to our platform stack - he did get some traction on the idea, I have to admit (the lab was keen on multi-architecture build budgets..) - but .. the machines just didn't show up. ARM ate everyones lunch.

I know he, personally, flew to China and returned with a Longsoon laptop, but .. we can't all fly to China.

Quick plug for this guy who built a LoongArch emulator for use as a... scripting engine?
