I think by "stupid mac language" he means Swift (C-based lang by Apple).

macOS does support C/C++/Objective-C etc. for obvious reasons, but as macOS has different file formats, folder locations and APIs (the GUI API SLAM uses doesnt run on macOS) so it'd effectively require a re-write to work.

It can work on the Mono framework.

However the real problem would be injecting the audio. Process handlers on BSD systems are entirely different from windows. That being said, it would not require a complete rewrite, but simply good knowledge of MacOS background operations and maybe some Objective-C bindings.
