> Hopefully this will support more architectures in the future, that's pretty impressive What architectures would it support? I assume it handles aarch64. It may already handle x86-64. macOS and iOS don't run on any others. I doubt Apple would be interested in making it support other OSs that run on more architectures. (It's probably a faux pax of me to say this, but I wonder if the parent comment was written by a LLM...)

They would probably be internally supporting riscv, given job postings

  Interesting point. Maybe. On the other hand, afaik they're just doing risc-v on tiny things like security enclaves and they might have a right different executable format and toolchain for those.

  I'll keep my suspicions to myself next time. Folks are increasingly going to wonder this when there's a short/vague comment that doesn't quite match their understanding of the world. I wouldn't have wondered the same with the additional context you've supplied here, e.g.: > I don't think Apple is only using ARM and their chip for their whole stack, in fact, their servers run something else, and they support software that runs on other OSes wich run plenty of different architectures, including X86_64, and they are exploring a plethora of architectures [1] Now I understand why you suggested it might run on other architectures / OSs. I'm skeptical though. They may develop/run software on Linux/Windows, but I haven't seen any examples of them releasing a development toolchain (e.g. any part of Xcode) for those OSs (with the obvious exception of platform-independent LLVM improvements). Likewise microprocessor-level stuff (afaict everything they do with risc-v).

Do you also go around accusing people of being witches? How on Earth would you know, much less prove, text originated from LLM? Your comments come across as meaningless if you're on a mission to disrespect commentors frivolously.
