I think it depends on what we’re developing on our Macs. I’m writing Elixir, Ruby, JavaScript, and a little C at work. My work Mac is a 2018 MacBook Pro and my personal Mac is a 2015 MacBook Pro. Both are reasonably fast to get stuff done, and honestly I’m waiting for everything on Homebrew to be converted over before I make the switch.

Now, cross compiling does suck. I have a few raspberry pis in a kubernetes cluster at home and am looking forward to the native compilation that this new release provides.
