ARM 32 bit is supported by OCaml. Just not for iOS/MacOS since the 32 bit iOS devices are ancient by now.

> 32 bit iOS devices are ancient by now

The last iPhone with a 32-bit processor appears to be the iPhone 5c, last produced in 2015. As I type this on a laptop from 2015, I have to question your definition of "ancient".

iPhone 5c uses technology from 2012; it was already terrible to use as it approached its end-of-life in 2017. Old phones just don’t really have the lifespan that computers do. (In contrast, my iPhone SE–which is using 5-year-old technology as well–is still an excellent phone.)

The definition of "ancient" is probably not the same for your laptop and for a planned-obsolescence apple mobile device

Ancient, unsupported, and shrinking as older devices are broken or unused and no new device is built. There aren’t many reasons to target 32-bit iPhones, unless it’s a hobby.

I too am typing it from a 2015 computer.
