Binary for Intel-based Macs #1

Closed cvanetten closed 1 month ago

cvanetten commented 1 month ago

Background: During our first developer onboarding call, the interview participant was unable to launch a REPL because we didn't include a binary for older Mac's. We started to build the project, but Nix wasn't installed on his personal machine and wasn't finished by the time the call was done.

Result: Going through the docs was still useful, but we lost the impact of running the examples locally and gaining hands on experience with Sire.

Proposal: Create a binary for intel-based Macs.

Binaries shouldn't be relied on in general, but are the fastest way to get the system running right now. Time-to-REPL is the best proxy we have for initial onboarding friction.

This should be tested on another machine. pallas-intel-mac.zip
