- pjmlp 10y agoOn Windows we get to use COM and .NET bindings, with UWP controls slowly picking up steam. Much better and we get to use a modern OO API. Hence why better Windows support is relevant for Rust, if you want it to be more seriously taken by Windows devs. EDIT: Same applies to mainframes, which also don't follow a C ABI, rather their own native languages.
