Erlang and Elixir on Apple Silicon/M1 Chip
Hello all!
I am typing this post from my new MacBook Pro with the M1 chip. I’m loving it so far, and will probably use it as my daily driver.
Wondering if anyone out there has had any luck installing elixir and Erlang using a version manager like asdf? I’ve been trying but getting a few build errors. If it takes considerable effort I’ll probably remote into a server to do whatever elixir development I need to until its more documented and better supported.
Thanks

Try compiling it from the GitHub repo, in particular, the maint branch, as there have been some fixes related to BigSur recently: Fix the make configuration for macOS 11.0.1 by idyll · Pull Request #2865 · erlang/otp · GitHub

it does on master and it is glorious.

Very smooth fully native M1 Arm installation now via latest Homebrew and asdf-vm; be sure to install the Erlang dependencies autoconf and wxmac before installing Erlang, as specified in the asdf-erlang instructions.
Of note: the scheduler sees all 8 cores, including the low-power ones:
Erlang/OTP 23 [erts-11.1.7] [source] [64-bit] [smp:8:8] [ds:8:8:10] [async-threads:1]
so it might be interesting to learn how that performs in practice.
