Reminder: if you're a Mac user and you do music production and are due for an upgrade, you'd better do that now. The Apple Silicon transition is *guaranteed* to be a complete clusterfuck for the DAW ecosystem.

what about dynamic binary translation? yes, you have to deal with some ABI issues, but i recall that some people did manage to get x86_64 code and AArch64 code to talk to each other
I don't think the ABI problem is solvable generally. It is solvable for specific defined interfaces with manually written translation code (which is what a plug-in wrapper which I describe later would do).

Doing that in-process seems to be a no-go with Rosetta 2 AIUI, so it would have to be out-of-process though.

What's the big difficulty in stalling the process the first time and jitting it to native? I mean, AlphaBIOS could translate x86 option ROMs for VESA BIOS calls directly in real time 26 years ago, and that didn't even have calling conventions.

wait, VST uses C++ ABI across shared library boundaries, right?
