> the Windows/Arm64 build of Visual Studio

There is no such thing. "Visual Studio for Mac" is a re-spin of MonoDevelop, and doesn't compare to the actual VS in any way, shape or form.

The closest you can get to VS-on-ARM-Mac right now is using a JetBrains IDE, but, as useful as these are, it's really no competition...

No. The full-fat Visual Studio is native arm64 nowadays!

Do need to have Parallels and Windows installation on macOS. But other than that, can run a native version of Visual Studio on ARM64.

Where can I get this 'full fat' ARM build of VS? I'll settle for a Win64-ARM release, but I'll personally provision a botnet to upvote you to Mars in case you point me to an Apple-Silicon-on-MacOS DMG...

The same place you download the x86 build: visualstudio.com

Actually it started like that, but eventually they started sharing code with VS, not that it matters any longer, as VS4Mac has been killed.
