Reply to Data Science on Apple Silicon: new distros and builds for R, Python, Julia?
What they are saying is that: "It turns out there is hope that R will work on Apple silicon. A usable Fortran 90 compiler for Apple silicon will hopefully be available relatively soon, since the development version of GFortran already seems to be working (check-all passed for R including reference LAPACK/BLAS) and there is a strong need for such compiler not only for R, but any scientific computing on that platform." The "there is hope" part sends a message to me, that if I have to use R in the near future, or everyday even -as in my case - do not buy an Apple silicon mac yet.... What do you think?
