As a JS developer, still waiting for full Homebrew. But then again, I might as well wait for the next iteration of Apple Silicon if that is the case.

- shepherdjerred 6y agoYou can install ARM and x86 Homebrew side-by-side. It works really well. When I set up my M1 mac I compiled as much as I could from source using the ARM Homebrew, and for everything else I installed it via the x86 Homebrew.
- jeffbee 6y agoWhy wait? I just built node myself, yes it takes a solid hour to compile but it works.
- kawera 6y agoOn older platforms(High Sierra), brew builds from source most of the time and I just built node(latest) on a i5 MacMini 2011. It took 76 minutes.
- agloeregrets 6y agoOh god. You are going to hate this. Node v15 on my MacBook Air built in 20 minutes.
- kawera 6y agoOh no, not at all, in fact for an entry level Mini of almost 10 years it's not bad at all.
- kilburn 6y agoOr you can try MacPorts which already supports ARM ;) https://www.macports.org/ https://www.macports.org/
