Lol MS must be p*ssed. Half the problem is that rails doesn't work on Windows. I'd put that a Rails problem rather than Windows.

- WorldMaker 7y agoI think at the core it's a Ruby problem. Ruby is the programming language ecosystem I've never been successful in using Windows native builds of it. Ruby on Windows has long been a nightmare of kludges and it really seems to show how few Ruby developers must use Windows as a daily driver given how poor the support has always been for it. (I say this as someone that used NodeJS when Windows native builds of it were an unsupported community project around the time of the IoJS fork and no one was sure Windows support would survive, much less be officially adopted. That was still a better situation than any time I've tryed to bootstrap a Ruby environment on Windows.) Ruby is my primary and sometimes sole usage of WSL.
