That is not entirely correct for Rust. I know because I helped a friend of mine debug the porting process. (Apple did not see fit to give me access to the hardware, alas.) https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73908 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/73908 has the full details. (Also, not to be super pedantic, but this (among other things) is partially why I said "and is only going to get better in the future," that is, the support is generally good (I know, I am literally doing some of that in another tab right now) but not flawless.)

  Very interesting, thanks for the link!

    You're welcome! And I'm sorry you're downvoted, I think that's a little overly harsh. Had I not known, that would have been helpful.

That platform is not even out yet. Outside of Apple's stuff, I doubt any ecosystem supports it. Some probably won't support it years after it's available for actual commercial products...

  No need to yell, it’s a relevant point to make since we’re talking about ARM. Not sure also what you mean by giving it a rest, this is the first time I’ve made a comment on this point. Update: thanks for editing your comment to be less offensive.

    I've removed the yelling :-) Someone else was saying the same thing in the comment you linked. I'll summarize it as: "Rust takes time to port to a platform which is not even commercially available".

There are some people who have already gotten Rust to work (with caveats) on Apple silicon: https://twitter.com/JakeGoulding/status/1279207843711811585 https://twitter.com/JakeGoulding/status/1279207843711811585
