<p>More issues generally arise from supporting/qualifying older OS versions than supporting specific architectures in my experience, so developers keep around older hardware or VMs for that purpose. In some other circumstances Rosetta may not be sufficient for testing older Intel hardware (one example is work on GPU)</p>

<p>Is there a way to do that today?<p>For updating bookmarks I've found like half a dozen variants of `tug` alias the community has come to using which is just a slight improvement (bit daunting to newcomer to pick 'best' one and not fan setting up aliases on all my working devices).<p>It would be nice if jj was better than git for the fundamental workflows like this out of the box overall.</p>

<p>Just my feedback - I've personally found jj more complex for simple projects. Like if you have a non-collaborative repo where you push to main most of the time after making a series of commits, in jj you have to keep updating a bookmark before pushing it and there's no one command to do both.<p>If you have another machine on main without any outstanding changes and you want to pull the latest changes that is probably also two steps (git fetch + new?)<p>That said, I've been liking jj quite a bit for more mature / collaborative projects. It has been a learning experience. (don't enjoy updating bookmarks for PR branches though; jj encourages rewriting history which is not my favorite choice for code review branches; I often work in repos that squash-on-merge).</p>

<p>While I was learning a new keyboard layout (Colemak) I went from > 100 WPM to starting from ~20 WPM. I think I got pretty productive when I reached 60/70 WPM and was surprised how much tab completion and computing assistance I relied on anyway. After that experience I think fast typing speed is overrated. (Now I’ve a somewhat useless skill of being able to type > 100 WPM on two different keyboard layouts.)<p>Edit: note if you are a typist and transcribe a lot of text for long periods of time without break, typing speed is important. But that’s mostly not any of us. But hey maybe I don’t write enough documentation and comments..</p>

<p>I've been typing in both qwerty and colemak around the same speed (>=100 WPM) for almost a decade. I ultimately ended up deciding to use qwerty at work and colemak at home. At least for me the comfort difference between layouts is marginal.</p>

<p>It's a misconception that layout switchers are relearning to type, especially if they were proficient qwerty touch typists. The better typists in qwerty have a significantly easier time learning a new keyboard layout. Most of the typing skills positively transfer over, even though there's still an initial hurdle.<p>Furthermore, I think there's significant bias when typists learn a new more ergonomic layout. For example, they may have incidentally fixed their typing posture when learning Colemak, they want to justify their investment, or they overestimate the efficiency/comfort gains in respect to how much they need to type daily. Performing frequent typing tests (something alternative layout typists like to do!) is furthest away from reality for most people. Many switchers also forget how to type in qwerty well; improving typing speed while learning feels "really nice" and it's easy to wrongly associate this with "qwerty is uncomfortable."<p>They also downplay the importance of living in a qwerty world, having to share a computer with another, or being able to proficiently type in qwerty (which many of them do not retain), or dealing with software not accounting for other layouts.<p>I type in Colemak in Qwerty proficiently.</p>

<p>I would look at it differently, i.e, obj-c++ is a valid supported language environment, that makes interopt with C++ pleasant at least compared to other interopt choices. Developers may choose to target Obj-C++ even out of preference.</p>

<p>Likely too much friction. Native environments benefit from using the expected IDE and tooling integration to build UI apps on respective platform. C or C++ is the best common supported language, and they didn't even like that.<p>Also the UI frameworks are being written in said preferred language these days, eg SwiftUI, and adding one additional language could be perceived as a pain.</p>
