Comment (by programmingkidx):

 I spent months working on porting PyPy to ARM64 Mac OS. It is really bad
 to work on. You have to rely on their rpython language. I have a good idea
 what the r stands for now... After having the main parts of PyPy working
 on ARM64 Mac OS I ended my work on it stopping with the foreign function
 interface code. This means if you import a library it will probably crash
 PyPy. In the end I so regret spending so much time on it. The maintainers
 were creeps. I hope never to hear from them again. They were awful to work
 with. The funny thing is they thank Maciej Fijałkowski for the work, but
 it was me who did about everything 🙄. Well PyPy was able to run code very
 fast on my M1 Mac. I was pleased with that. Recently I discovered Google's
 Go language and left Python coding so you may do as you wish with this
 port. I don't need it anymore.
