Who will be leading the effort to launch the track?
Me, since I'm already maintaining the x86-64 assembly track, I'll be able to reuse a lot of code and thoughts from there.
@bergjohan Thanks for offering to work on this! I can set a repository up for you in the next couple of days.
Great! Thank you! :)
Alrighty, here you go: exercism/arm64-assembly#1
You're already in the Slack workspace, right?
Thank you! Yes, I'm in the Slack workspace :)
Sorry to bump this after a year and a half but I am very interested in the concept of an ARM assembly track too.
You could also use gas (GNU assembler) from arm-none-eabi-binutils to build ARM assembly programs. I think ARM64 is different.
ARMv8 (AArch64/ARM64) is very different from ARMv7, which is kind of different from ARM Classic. This may present a problem. I should look into the differences of them more.
@Chlorophytus The repo with the code in is at https://github.com/exercism/arm64-assembly - if you'd like to help that'd be great :)

I've been contributing a tiny bit
The work to launch this track was never completed, and there has been no activity on the track for a long time.
We are therefore archiving the track repository.
If someone wants to actively build and launch this track, please open an issue in https://forum.exercism.org/c/exercism/building-exercism/125 to discuss it.
