Io Language on Apple Silicon (ARM64)

This project is a port of the Io Language designed to build and run natively on Apple Silicon (ARM64) devices. It provides an immediate solution for developers who want to use Io Language on the latest Apple hardware without relying on Rosetta 2 or other emulation layers.

Purpose

The primary goal of this project is to enable native support for Io Language on ARM64 architecture, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This port serves as a temporary solution until the necessary changes are merged back into the official Io Language GitHub repository.

Features

• Native ARM64 Support: Fully optimized for Apple Silicon, taking advantage of the architecture's performance capabilities.
• Compatibility: Ensures Io Language runs seamlessly on macOS devices with ARM64 processors.
• Temporary Solution: Bridges the gap while awaiting official support from the Io Language maintainers.

Future Plans

The changes introduced in this port are intended to be contributed back to the official Io Language repository. Once merged, this project will no longer be necessary, and users can rely on the official version for ARM64 support.

How to Use

To get started with this port, follow the instructions provided in the repository. Ensure you have the necessary build tools and dependencies installed for macOS ARM64.
