  • Fortran on M1

    There are some other Fortran development options for macOS. gfortran is free software, and it looks like someone has built an experimental version of it for the M1. You might also be able to install the Intel version of it via Homebrew (or maybe even compile a working M1 native version that doesn't require Rosetta; I'm not sure whether GCC has Apple Silicon target support yet). I believe there are some commercial Fortran compilers available on the Mac as well.
