Is WSL that complete? There could be tons of edge cases where stock Linux binaries could behave slightly differently and could be a support nightmare.

- AaronFriel 8y agoI regularly develop Haskell, Rust, Node, etc. on WSL. It's dramatically improved since the early days, and that was already pretty magical. I find it funny you mention "stock Linux binaries", the distributions that are available on top of WSL are stock Linux distributions. Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, etc. There aren't any non stock Linux binaries involved.
- danieldk 8y agoIt is surprising how well it works. I tried a massive compiled Prolog TK application that has been developed since the '90ies. It worked perfectly without much effort. https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2017-01-10-Alpino-Windows.html https://danieldk.eu/Posts/2017-01-10-Alpino-Windows.html
