Now this is a curious packaging bug! https://mathstodon.xyz/@bremner/114722528619653537
I blogged a little big about my playing around in Racket on my MNT Pocket Reform, which is aarch64 based. I mentioned that Racket was way too slow, so I had switched to Guile.
It turns out the Debian packaging for Racket was compiling x86_64 for all platforms, and so Racket on Debian on ARM was being effectively *emulated* due to a packaging bug!
I guess I'm glad my little blogpost uncovered that!
