but what’s the upside still? They’ll have developer units available this month supposedly so availability isn’t the big barrier.
It’s like saying they should enable iOS development on windows. It doesn’t make brand sense to do it. The slight upside of a few devs who won’t buy a Mac isn’t worth the deterioration of brand prestige by pushing people to multiple platforms.
Also there’s a not insignificant cost associated with maintaining tooling on multiple platforms when they rely so significantly on the vertical stack
- joshstrange 3y agoI guess it really depends on who gets the developer devices. I have a feeling they will be more locked down than the Arm mac developer units (which they gave to almost anyone). If they are stingy then it’d make some more sense to allow lessor hardware to be used by everyone else but I totally see you point. I forgot about the dev units since I had assumed when they were announced that it would be very hard to get one. You make a good point.
