Will the new MBP work natively with Docker, Ubuntu, Node, ect?

  of course.

  Almost certainly, especially interpreted languages. I already run node, PHP, nginx, docker, etc on my RPis and other ARM boards.

  Many things will probably work fine. Would be interesting to know what will not work, or work less smoothly. Things requiring exotic drivers could be such a thing.

  My issue would be that i can not use the same base images to test locally before pushing stuff to ci systems, if i have to use the arm versions. Hope there will be some workaround to continue using the same base images.

    Ding ding ding ding ding In theory it can all work but in practice there's going to be issues.

  Docker doesn't work yet. https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4733 https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues/4733

  Running virtual machines seems to be a work in progress, and docker on mac requires a virtual machine. Most other popular software should work fine using the emulation, and it's probably not very difficult to recompile most software for running natively. Will be interesting to see how tools like homebrew support native and emulated packages.
