Igor 10 for Mac

Would it be possible for WaveMetrics to reconsider developing a Mac version of Igor Pro 10? I understand that the Mac version may not have been pursued previously due to development cost concerns. However, with the rapid progress of AI-assisted coding tools, the development effort and cost might be significantly reduced. I wonder whether AI-assisted development could make it more feasible to create an official Mac-compatible version of Igor Pro 10.

So that your post is not unanswered ...

The topic has been raised on the Igor Pro email list server. I will comment only to your closing proposition. AI-assistance requires human oversight to prevent hallucinations. The investment in AI for reliable software development is not as free, easy, and guaranteed as you might otherwise want to believe.

Hi,

I have also been told that the code base is too large to fit into the memory space needed to be useful.
