Darling — macOS translation layer for Linux

Darling is a translation layer that lets you run macOS software on Linux, not an emulator, it’s like wine but for MacOS apps.

    I don’t really understand the appeal of this. What command line software is there on MacOS that there isn’t an adequate equivalent to on Linux?

      Well, none. One assumes the aspiration is to implement Cocoa, to allow GUI apps to run.

      Its a first step. And then some day complex software can run, even though I have the feeling that has all shady DRM stuff inside

      For me the appeal is potentially being able to verify that my code at least compiles and has basic functionality on Darwin. No idea if this can be useful for anyone other than developers.
