hyperkit does not run on ARM Macs

  $ brew install hyperkit
  hyperkit: The x86_64 architecture is required for this software.
  Error: hyperkit: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

The phrase "compiled language" doesn't mean anything. Python compilers exist.

UTM is open source.

Also, running UTM instead of Qemu has some benefits. e.g. bridged networking

Wireshark

But surely you would care if ads or other junk is getting injected into whatever you are reading?

It is quite the opposite. Every pair is meaningful. Extra parenthesis cannot be added just for the heck of it without changing the meaning of the code.

I discovered recently that bash function names and aliases allow -

  pi@4b:~ $ kebab-case-ftw () { echo yum; }
  pi@4b:~ $ kebab-case-ftw 
  yum
  pi@4b:~ $ alias kebab-kebob='echo yum'
  pi@4b:~ $ kebab-kebob 
  yum

Exactly. This is all implementation trivia that is of absolutely no concern to me as a user.

UTM should be running arm64 Linux guests using virtualization and NOT emulation. I have been running arm64 Linux guests on M1/M2 Macs and it is not at all slow.

Does your Linux guest have the "Use Hypervisor" setting turned on?

The address bar is also a bit excessive for doing conversions.

  $ getent hosts 127.1
  127.0.0.1       127.1

I'm a sucker for Common Lisp content. However, this article needs s/binary tree/binary search tree/ in several places. Delete is left as an exercise for the reader.

Unnecessary. Most people's hands will be able to type up the required shell one-liner to do this.

addr2line is unlikely to be a trivial self-contained program without dependencies.

How does one "just link against the code in addr2line" ?
