ARMv7 vs. x86-64: Pathfinding benchmark of C++, D, Go, Nim, Ocaml, and more

It seems kinda unfair to compare 32bit ARMv7 against 64bit x86-64. Wouldn't it be much fairer to compare ARMv7 against the register-starved x86, or to compare AArch64 against x86-64?

It's not comparing the architectures against each other, it's comparing language implementations against each other on those architectures. As x86-64 is the most common x86 architecture nowadays, and ARMv7 the most common ARM architecture (at least on mobile), comparing language's performance on them should hopefully be more relevant as more developers use those platforms.

Not to mention clock and cache differences.
