We are choosing between Darling and using Mac instances in AWS for validation of ClickHouse builds: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/15609

The fact that Darling requires a kernel module makes it quite challenging to use. But the task is open, and I check it once a year.

Overall I'm highly impressed that this is even possible!

Also, I had another idea for builds validation - use a custom version of libc and compiler flags to make the API and ABI on Linux similar to what is on Mac. For example, to make uint64_t unsinged long long instead of unsigned long.

Good news: this article announces that the kernel module is no more, since last year apparently!

+ 1. Been running darling off the server branch since it was made and have had 0 issues (at least none that was unique to it). My main complaint is that the go compiler doesn’t work.
