Does anyone use their mac for programming and if so what apps do you recommend?

You could run postgres and Oracle via docker. I have both for different projects.

Played around with it a little bit and it looks nice. Installs from homebrew.

Iterm2 with oh my zsh and homebrew
Datagrip for Postgres / general database work
Openlens for anything k8s related
Docker desktop
and like everyone else it seems VScode with half a million extensions.

I found a couple of tools that look interesting but I haven't tried them yet.

zoxide
fzf

Edit: Combining that with tmux and neovim should be pretty good.

fzf is super popular, same with ripgrep.

Not sure if people will know but does the llvm package in Homebrew come with WASM support? I'd rather not install it if it doesn't.

You'll probably want WABT too, or some other wasm-tools packages.

Ah, that looks great. Thank you.

I've started to move into iOS development and one of the frameworks I want to use is distributed via cocoapods which didn't work with the Ruby that comes with macOS by default so I had to install the latest version of Ruby to get it working which is a pain. Having said that once it was all working it does make things easier. I'd just rather have the Framework distributed as a library you could manually link with rather than yet another package manager.
