highly unlikely, at this point cmucl support is a one man project by Raymond Toy. in order for the apple silicon to be supported two things need to happen, cmucl needs to be extended to support 64-bit and it needs to be ported to arm, both are major undertakings

- r9550684 3y agowell, it's funny because cmucl is a very sophisticated compiler. even a decade ago, back when things like Haskell or ocaml were considered to be "fringe" languages, beating cmucl was an achievement. with type annotations and knowing what you're doing, you can make it perform in the ballpark of C
- mm007emko 3y agoThe same applies to SBCL (a fork of CMUCL) which has more active development now. The funny thing is that the name of the compiler is Python. But this Python actually produces fast programs :) .
