That is excellent news.

I wonder if it also includes the necessary assemblers and compilers to
produce 64 bit programs?

IMHO this will be computing coming of age for the man
on the Clapham Omnibus, for no longer will it be necessary
to program one's way around the limitations of processor design
because with so much memory, take the same design principle
that made Admiral Fisher's Dreadnought battleship design
so capable, big guns only, make all storage, even for
8 bit bytes, 64 bits.

64-bit-only BCPL anybody?
