I ordered a MacBook Pro equipped with an M1 ARM processor. Will I be able to run Homebrew and install dev tools like Python, Node etc..?

As said here, They will do more support on ARM CPU's

But, as said here and more specifically here:

Homebrew can run on 32-bit ARM (Raspberry Pi and others) and 64-bit ARM (AArch64), but no binary packages (bottles) are available. Support for ARM is on a best-effort basis. Pull requests are welcome to improve the experience on ARM platforms.

You may need to install your own Ruby using your system package manager, a PPA, or rbenv/ruby-build as we no longer distribute a Homebrew Portable Ruby for ARM.
