Quick summary on the current state of web development on Apple M1 (a thread)

First, the elephant in the room:

golang 1.16 will introduce support for Apple M1, but it's coming in February 2021. There you go, I predict that Docker on M1s is coming in about 6-12 months.

- Python, Node and OCaml already run natively
- PHP, Deno, .NET and Rust run on Rosetta2
- Haskell is not yet supported

I believe Ruby and Elixir should be good for M1, although I couldn't find related issues on their trackers.

Devtools are also looking good for the transition:

- native brew support is in progress for most formulas
- asdf will be good once plugin vendors provide support
- VSCode is in early testing
- Electron and Unity are now native

Overall, the whole ARM transition looks incredible (for the magnitude of the change), except Docker. But hey, it's marvelous black magic and an enormous effort, what did you expect?!

This transition is also a great opportunity to give back to your community. If you are one of the brave ones and your new shiny is on the way:

1. Run tests and builds
2. Help with documentation
3. Provide remote access to devs who don't have access to M1, yet
