Hello,
Now that the "Copilot+PC" (Windows ARM) laptops are rapidly increasing in market share (Microsoft Surface Laptop, Dell XPS 13, HP OmniBook X 14, and more), are there any plans to provide builds for Matlab on Windows arm64?
Since there are already Windows builds of Matlab, it shouldn't be too hard to compile for Windows arm64, as far as I know. But I am not famaliar with Matlab's codebase.
Please try to publish Windows arm64 builds soon so that Matlab can be much more usable on Windows on ARM as it will run natively instead of in emulation.
Thank you very much.

And Linux ARM!
It's a good idea, but I don't think MathWorks will consider it in their plans.
I believe that Mathworks is actively working on Windows ARM for Windows 11... but that it is a lot of work.
I suspect that Linux ARM is vaguely planned, but not to be started until WIndows ARM is mostly finished.
I think one of the major challenges is with the numeric libraries.
I am not aware of anything as good as Intel MKL for WinARM.
A major customer of yours will be switching to Arm64 compute infrastracture. It is better to start supporting it or you'll risk losing further market share to Python.
It is hard to compile MATLAB for Windows Arm64 ;)
This is not planned for R2025a.
I have no information about whether or not it is planned for some eventual later release.
