    13 For some reason, the Homebrew {{{cabal}}} maintainer recently moved to the experimental tree that has a native M1 {{{cabal}}} binary. But that binary still uses {{{ghc}}} version 8.10.7 (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/cabal-install#default), which is itself {{{x86_64}}} and can only compile {{{x86_64}}} things. Native {{{arm64}}} {{{ghc}}} version 9.2.1  that can build native {{{arm64}}} binaries just came out weeks ago.

    15 Furthermore, Home doesn’t bootstrap any of this stuff (neither {{{cabal}}} nor {{{ghc}}} nor {{{stack}}}) and simply relies on binary downloads. MacPorts already provides that basic option with the {{{--prebuilt}}} variant.

    1717Again, I’d recommend just waiting until these upstreams migrate to their own native builds and just use the {{{x86_64}}} binaries on M1 in the meantime.
