I find it a little sad that windows support is considered essential (and its lack is a dealbreaker), but linux support is not, even though developers predominantly use macos and linux.

If you compare to ruby, there are a couple of quite nice packages for os automation that allows for scripting setup of services etc. That's a space where os level support is essential. That said, crystal being new, and wsl 1/2 being a thing... I'm à little surprised for the demand for a windows version. OTOH being able to create a gui rad ide like Lazarus or Delphi, that is cross-platform, compiles to native executables and uses crystal in place of Pascal would probably be great.

What makes you say linux support is not essential?

Why do you believe more devs are on mac than windows? What country are you in?
