There is a "sort-of" port (you were correct in saying a "similar thing for Windows"). It's Dokany: https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany Keybase.io and sshfs use it, currently. Personally, I love it. I'm sure you're right about performance limitations, but there are very good use cases for it, like Keybase Filesystem and sshfs, where any latency introduced by the driver subsystem is less likely to be felt due to the latency of working with files over the network. Interestingly, a set of the insider previews of Windows broke Dokany so badly that launching the driver caused everything to hang (hard -- all but the mouse stopped responding to anything, even CTRL+ALT+DELETE). It's tricky stuff, apparently.
