Are WinRT Metro applications cross-compatible (x86 / 64 and ARM)?

Wikipedia, which talks about Windows 8, is contained in the Metro section, which

Metro applications will be cross-compatible on both x86 / 64-based systems and Windows on ARM.

but does not have a link (it is marked as "link").

Technically, is it possible to run the "native" Metro application that was created using WinRT for x86 / 64 on ARM?

Yes, Metro applications are specifically declared as a supported method for cross-platform applications for both Windows 8 and WOA (Windows on ARM). Full details are in this blog post. The message also indicates that other types of applications that run in Desktop mode on x86 Windows 8 are not specifically supported by WOA (some Microsoft applications are exceptional exceptions).

JS application should work with ARM unchanged. I am not 100% sure about C #, an application written for "any processor" should only work with ARM (but I have not confirmed). C ++ applications will work, but they will need to be recompiled specifically for ARM.
