Thanks for this... I'll take a look at how to get started on Mac OS with GNAT.

I went down a bit of a rabbit hole recently looking to see if there was a LLVM way to do this. It looked like it was being worked, but I'm not sure it's the best way to get started with Mac OS and Ada on Apple Silicon.

I'll check out homebrew and macports too... again, just in case!

Thanks again!

Not sure how well it works (I don’t have a Mac), but there is this repository that describes how to compile the whole gcc/gnat ada system in MacOS.

Bonus point is that you get the compiler for ARM bare metal

Happy to help! I can also recommend alire (alire.ada.dev), the open source package manager for Ada. It can manage your toolchains for you and makes it very easy to get started and create new projects. It works well on M1s.
