Hello, I have a hypothetical question. Is it possible to use Julia on a different architecture of a computer?

Depends what you mean by use. The short answer is if LLVM exists for it, and enough people care, it can be made to run on it (for example, see the m1 Macs)

So, let’s say that that it is something new that that there are 100 people who care about it. How could we make LLVM for it.

Unless some of those 100 people are very knowledgeable about compilers, it won’t happen.

Thanks! So how to get knowledgable about compilers. Are there any books or courses.
