M1 Mac for code development

Thanks very much for this info! It is very nice to know that Gfortran works natively with OpenMP with good scaling, and the fix for nested functions is now on-going. So I’ve decided to buy a new one and try my codes (in addition to using it for office work as well).

@certik> LFortran supports M1 natively. I use M1 to develop it. LFortran is still in alpha stage, our goal is to bring it to beta this year. I also use GFortran from Conda (conda-forge) and it generates native M1 code and it works great.

Thanks very much! It is reassuring to hear that both LFortran and Gfortran support M1. I am looking forward to trying the beta version of LFortran once it becomes available :slight_smile:
