May I ask, what language(s)/stack is it written in?

It sounds like it has a ton of great features.

I guess virtualization is its own domain, much like video encoders, cryptography, and systems programming.

Feels like the gateway to those is C and assembly.

It's a mix of Go, Rust, Swift, and C, but I didn't write any virtualization code—it's all built around Apple's Virtualization.framework because that's the only way to use Rosetta in VMs. (The architecture bits are behind a private API in Hypervisor.framework.)

That's awesome, combining the strengths of (or hacking around) multiple languages.

Recent reads include Mac OS on Docker, rooted John Deere tractors, jart's Blink work, and now this :)
