Zed is a modern open-source code editor, built from the ground up in Rust with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
imagine the nightmare of writing a 65 bit instruction set
I don’t think it has to be a nightmare per se if you start from scratch.
Instead of 8-bit bytes, you have 5-bit “bytes” (fyves?) Hoozah! Done.
only if double precision can be called high fyves
This is a mandatory rule now.
Now imagine designing a 65 bit computer. The bus, registers, alu…
You’ll probably waste a lotta chips since most of them are designed for working with powers of 2
