Is there any information on what type of software will run?

Will it run things like R, Julia, Postgres, Docker (which I can work with reasonably well on my late 2013 MBP) and will we see any of the speed improvements or will some of the packages that work fairly well on the Intel-based models just not work?




I'm sure a good amount of things won't work on ARM the first time around.

But I also think they'll be fixed quickly. RIP my dependency packages...


There's a translation layer, so I'm hopeful everything will just work.


At what speed? As far as I understood, all the presented performance increases are for optimized apps. I guess this is also where Apple sees the primary customer base.

For developers, scientists, etc., it would be interesting if it improves any of their typical use-cases – memory is one big limitation (I don't necessarily need 32GB on the laptop, that's what I use a workstation for, but after using my current Macbook for 7 years, I don't want a new laptop that feels limited after a few years)


Generally reasonable speeds.
