 For some reason, the Homebrew {{{cabal}}} maintainer recently moved to the
 experimental tree that has a native M1 {{{cabal}}} binary. But that binary
 still uses {{{ghc}}} version 8.10.7 (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula
 /cabal-install#default), which is itself {{{x86_64}}} and can only compile
 {{{x86_64}}} things. Native {{{arm64}}} {{{ghc}}} version 9.2.1  that can
 build native {{{arm64}}} binaries just came out weeks ago.

 Furthermore, Home doesn’t bootstrap any of this stuff (neither {{{cabal}}}
 nor {{{ghc}}} nor {{{stack}}}) and simply relies on binary downloads.
 MacPorts already provides that basic option with the {{{--prebuilt}}}
 variant.

 Again, I’d recommend just waiting until these upstreams migrate to their
 own native builds and just use the {{{x86_64}}} binaries on M1 in the
 meantime.
