Subject: Ada on Apple's new procesors
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2020 15:53:00 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4d9fa282-830d-42f7-a3bf-ba127cb2ad06o@googlegroups.com> (raw)

Apple is beginning its third nightmare transition to a new processor family. What does this mean for Ada on macOS?

Can we hope for a native compiler anytime soon? We will have Rosetta 2 until we don't. (Original Rosetta lasted for two OS generations and then it was taken away.) I could tell you the story of needing to run a small PowerPC program to set up a slightly old Apple WiFi device a couple years ago. Buy Parallels. Call Apple and send $30 to get Snow Leopard Server--that's 10.6. Virtualize Snow Leopard Server on Parallels to run the WiFi set-up program in Rosetta.)
