 emily | but it was broken anyway | 12:04:28 |
| emily | you shouldn't need it if you build a more normal system | 12:04:35 |

Loongarch is compatible with MIPS64 source? compatible in what sense? | 12:04:42 |
| emily | fwiw K900's statements match what I heard | 12:04:54 |
| emily | that LoongArch just decided to fork MIPS | 12:05:04 |
| dramforever | i've never been able to track down a source on "compatible" | 12:05:27 |
| dramforever | yeah, "fork" is more like it | 12:05:38 |
 K900 | It's the exact same instruction encodings | 12:05:58 |
| K900 | I think they might have diverged somewhat by now? | 12:06:09 |
| emily | "This is why LoongArch is better than RISC-V and also why the author of LoongArch does not like RISC-V and creates this new ISA." | 12:06:14 |
| K900 | But the actual opcodes are identical | 12:06:16 |
