It‘s a shame macOS Arm is deprecated :(



this comment is misleading. aarch64, the architecture for apple silicon, is still fully supported. did you see "arm" with a skull next to it and assume that meant all ARM architectures became recently deprecated?


I don't believe there ever was support for macOS on 32-bit ARM.


I believe iPhone 5c was the last of the 32-bit ARM Apple devices. I guess technically that's iOS rather than macOS but as far as Zig is concerned, it's all Darwin.



Wait what? I use Zig just fine on my M1 Mac. Did macOS ever run on non-Apple-ARM chips?


Whoa, thanks for the heads-up. I've been reading news about Zig from time to time, and planned giving it an honest try at 1.0 (whenever that may be) but it seems I'm out of luck.

Do you, by chance, know the reasoning behind this step?


Aarch64 is supported (M series chips) if that’s what you’re worried about.


No, I actually have a bunch of older Macs I keep running for certain experiments.


Older mac are intel based not arm. M1 is the first arm based chip


Those would be Intel not Arm, no?
