   That is changing, reasonably quickly. ARM stopped releasing new cores   
   that could do A32 or T32 in 2023, having been phasing them out since 2021.   
   Apple's recent cores and Qualcomm's Oryons are likewise 64-bit only.

   Microsoft supply compilers that can target 32-bit code, and run-time   
   libraries for 32-bit programs. I've never tried building anything on ARM   
   Windows for 32-bit so I don't know how well they work. I don't know if   
   ARM Windows 11, which is always a 64-bit OS, will notice that the   
   hardware is incapable of running A32/T32, but I hope to have appropriate   
   hardware fairly soon.
