Virtual Box will only run 32 bit versions of Linux. Some python scripts will run, others die. At least it is consistent in which is which but I'm looking to rewrite the python stuff in ruby

Just curious why ruby? Would you consider Golang?

I know that Ruby works on Apple Silicon. Or at least it has not failed yet. However will go work, will rust? Would be a pain to get so far and then find, oh yeah that doesn't work either

Once the python package for tensorflow is working then I will be back with python (where it is applicable)

Rust works, yes.

Curious why Golang? Would you consider rewriting everything in Rust? /s

weird sarcasm aside rewriting python in go makes sense in this scenario because it’s a stable language that supports cross compilation. ruby doesn’t have the same guarantee

Honestly suggesting rust instead of golang is way more in the same abstraction space as ruby vs go... such a weird question.
