Interesting to me because this is very likely to drive Linux support and usage in Mainland China! Windows is unlikely to ever support LoongArch.

Had a very enlightening discussion with the authors as well, kudos to them for an amazing article!

For those who don’t know, but LoongArch is basically MIPS.
The latest generation are supposed to be a new non-MIPS64 ISA, but I imagine some of it is still based on MIPS.
