Expectations in Linqpad 8
Could you tell us what time you expect to release Linqpad 8 as well as if it is supported by M1 silicon chips of apple? Or do you have any plan that Linqpad 7 runs on mac os?

Mr. Albahari?

LINQPad 8 is scheduled for end of 2023, so it's early days with feature planning. In terms of supporting M1 silicon, this is not simply a matter of enabling a compiler switch, because LINQPad is built on the WPF and WinForms .NET libraries, which are still not cross-platform.

@JoeAlbahari Where does Linqpad use WPF? (Just out of curiosity)
-
The debugger is WPF, as are some of the dialogs (such as the NuGet package manager). The rest is mostly WinForms.

I read somewhere you were considering Maui for the cross-platform version of Linqpad. I just ported a big app from WPF to a framework called Avalonia. I can really recommend this. It's a lot more production-ready than Maui.
