Great news: MacVim has already been updated to a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon Macs. Version 9.2.321 (and later) includes full Apple Silicon support and has been confirmed running on real Macs in our community. You should update to the latest version immediately — simply download the current release from GitHub and replace your Intel-only copy. The update is straightforward, and you'll gain native performance without any compatibility layer.
