This was mentioned somewhere else already, but the way to parse [Windows Subsystem for Linux] is [Windows] [Subsystem for Linux] (not [Windows Subsystem] [for Linux]). In case of [Rust for Windows], it should actually be called something like [Rust] [API for Windows].
But I agree, the naming is very confusing.
- MereInterest 5y agoEven with that, I'd expect a "subsystem for Linux" to be a subsystem that runs on Linux, not a subsystem that runs Linux. I think it's the word "for" that is causing confusion, rather than the parsing order itself.
- elcomet 5y agoThat's incorrect. The name is Windows Subsystem (as in a Subsystem that runs on the windows kernel) for linux, that is, designed to run Linux.
- IshKebab 5y agoI think it's more like (Windows Subsystem) for [running] Linux.
