I'm with you this. I lived through the big endian / little endian hell in the 80/90s. Little endian won. Anyone making a big endian architechture at this point would be shooting themselves in the foot because off all the incompatibilities. Don't make things more complicated.

In fact, I'd be surprised if you made a big endian arch and then ran a browser on it if some large number of websites would fail because they used typedarrays and aren't endian aware.

The solution is not to ask every programmer in the universe to write endian aware code. The solution is to standardize on little endian

We already know that's the case. I had to add little endian typed array emulation to TenFourFox.
