TL;DR: Apple Macs are transitioning away from Intel chips to their own Apple Silicon. The next version of macOS - “Big Sur” - will support these new processors. Developers will have to make changes to their code to support these new Macs. The scope of work for Rhino for Mac is currently being inv…

[image] diff-arch: It’s not like they’re going to drop Intel support in the next decade or so. It was even mentioned that they’ll be releasing another generation of Intel macs. Sure thing, But I was referring to if McNeel stopped developing Mac version of Rhino. In that case the market for Ma…

I think that, as an user, one is totally free to advise McNeel on any subject one sees pertinent, whether it annoys you or not. [image] jespizua: let others use what they want Along those lines, let others say what they want. I will do just that, if McNeel would stop wasting resources on Rh…

Now I have Macs & PCs and I develop on both system. It’s not very different because I don’t use Xcode at all (I use VS & handmade CMake on both platforms). I believe the issue is about reusing code. Middle-sized software companys suffer from it mostly, as they will judge whether it’s worthwhile to m…
