> decidedly not weird architecture and a very well known operating system

Can you say which ones? It's hard to place your comment without details.




The context implies it’s macOS on Apple silicon.


In that case the comment makes no sense - the details of AArch64-based Macs have been made public just a few weeks ago. It takes a while to do port and test for a new platform, even if iOS was already supported.


Yup, that’s what I’m doing. Just offering my comments on how difficult some projects are to port: some require no new code and some will require quite a bit, and some will be blocked on their dependencies being in the latter camp :)


It’s implied the OP isn’t considered part of the “public” for this issue.


No, I learned of it the same time you did, although I had a fairly good idea about when this was coming for a few years ;) And while I have a bit of additional information now, it's nothing that would really be useful for porting.


Unless they work for apple. Those on the inside have been toying with it for a while now.


Nope, just a third-party developer who until June knew of "aarch64-darwin-xnu" as "iOS" ;)
