Hi HN, I started developing an experimental project with the goal of running macOS CLI binaries natively on Linux ARM machines. As of now, we have working prototypes for: - 7-Zip: Passes multi-threaded compression tests on an 8k-file tree. Currently ~5.2x slower than native Linux execution, but I already mapped out a clear optimization plan to cut this gap down. - curl: Over 200 commands and options successfully pass our automated Docker test script. - Xcode Tools Git: Basic version control commands (init, add, commit) are up and running, though 100% stability is not yet guaranteed. I would be highly grateful for your constructive criticism, architectural ideas, and feedback! Thank you!

Interesting project! A long term vision for MacOS applications is feasible given the success of WINE/Proton with Windows applications.

Are you familiar with the Darling project? https://github.com/darlinghq/darling There's an open PR for ARM64 support https://github.com/darlinghq/darling/pull/1753 Could you combine efforts or do your goals differ too much?

this is something I've been waiting for a long time. I will be watching this with great interest.

If this ever gets far enough I would love to see something similar to yabridge implemented on top of this and be able to run AU binaries on linux.

How can we tell that this is truly a clean room project and that there is no code from either (Claude or yourself) that is derived from the Darling project?

Otherwise great project.
