[Openmcl-devel] CCL on Apple Silicon

[peter]

Am I correct in concluding the Clozure Common Lisp will not run on Apple
Silicon under any guise. So not natively, under Rosetta-2, in
virtualisation (do any support X86 emulation) under Parallels, UTM, VMware
Fusion, VirtualBox on Apple Silicon?

Hence for those that want to keep going with their Clozure Lisp but on
current Apple systems (ie. Apple Silicon) it'll have to be via Screen
Sharing to an 2018 Intel Mac Mini or such.

That or move on to SBCL et al and rewrite code as far as viable. For those
addicted to the CCL Hemlock UI, get used to Emacs-Slime.

Meanwhile praying that Clozure breathes again, and cursing the INT
instruction void. Or sticking with an unsupported Intel Mac, or abandon
Apple and morph over to the WinTel world.

Is this how things stand today for those whose digital life has been
heavily CCL based. Somehow I never got any message saying the CCL on
current Apple computers (Apple Silicon) is a complete and indefinite no-go
(unless there's some radical phoenix action).

I.e. CCL is effectively dead and buried on current Macs, full stop.

Crossing fingers and hoping to be shot down in flames.
