Using bswap as a prefix to a store and a suffix to a load produces an equivalent to big-endian load and store operations. Personally, a big endian load and store...

For starters, https://github.com/michalsc/Emu68 runs in AArch64eb instruction set (eb for big endian mode) due to the fact that it would take additional instructions to implement endian-swaps with vector units in...

https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/movbe is the x64 version of the Move from Big Endian instruction to load and store big-endian modes.

I agree with lygstate and binji. If WebAssembly were only going to support 3 operating systems and 2 processor architectures, there wouldn't be any point in making it cross-platform. Emulation...

In addition, I've got a few more use-cases for you. Old file formats and packet formats sometimes used the "network endian" (aka big-endian) architecture. All the little-endian usage in the...

I'm talking about old file formats. Certainly not breaking compatibility with the current ABI. That would defeat the purpose of having a bytecode.

After careful consideration, I've decided to make my own bytecode rather than using an off-the-shelf bytecode that claims to be cross-platform but isn't.

Issue #1212 would solve this.

Half of the computers I own use big endianness. I seldom use up-to-date machines so I'll not be using WebAssembly in its current form.

Most of my computers don't have an up-to-date web browser. How will you "make" me use it?
