It sounds to me that Apple is preparing for the day when they ship a non-x86 mac but don't want to slow everything down with emulation.

- jcranmer 8y agoBitcode is still architecture-specific: you generally can't take LLVM IR produced for x86-64 and expect it to run on ARM without issues.
- someguydave 8y agoUnderstood, but I suppose what I meant was that you could write an emulator that works at a higher level than machine-code which could interpret IR on a foreign arch.
