Coming changes at Apple's processor architecture for Macs

[KB]

@Thomas Rabenstein

Hello Keith, thank you for your quick response. This all sounds very reasonable. I’m very excited about the new Mac generation and expect the processor change to improve performance and usability in my Apple environment.
Of course I also know that such a change means a lot of work for a developer and I am curious what you will create for us.
All the best, Thomas.

I’m very excited about the future too. I’ve been exploring the Big Sur beta today and over all I like it. It’s very bright, and I hope they tone down some of the translucency, but it’s very clean, there are lots of nice touches, and I’m looking forward to using it on a daily basis for real work.

We certainly have a lot of big decisions ahead of us in how we are going to handle some of the coming changes.

Yeah, I remember that time well. If I understood the Keynote message correctly, then for apps that are not immediately available “native”, the “Rosetta 2” emulation will step in to allow you to continue working seamlessly.

Exactly, and I imagine Scrivener will being using Rosetta 2 for a while no matter what.
