Is anybody here using one of these for serious development, and can comment on performance? On reddit there are some comments about anything Java-related being rather slow for instance.
I'm seeing about 2x performance (eyeballing build times) of a recent Intel MBP for compiling a medium size Go codebase, running natively on arm64. The machine is noticeably faster than previous iterations for most tasks.
I've made an effort to avoid emulated code though so am running a patched version of Go 1.16 and tools. Not all tools have officially supported native versions yet, but the performance is definitely there.
Azul Zulu is one.
