Description

Is there any internal work going on to support native Apple Silicon binaries, instead of running Java under Rosetta 2? (Given that some stages of CodeQL are single threaded bound, the M1 Max will probably be the "best" CPU for many of us, especially when a new Mac Mini and/or Mac Pro comes out.)

Linux aarch64 binaries would be very useful too (for my use-case, actually more useful than native Apple Silicon).

Related #89.
