>sigh. Sure, Linux tells you to “bake it yourself” but at least the Linux hands you the tools to do it and if you follow the instructions, the tools definitely do what you expect of them. I fear Windows just isn’t quite there.
Probably something most of people here can't relate to, but this is something I'm always grateful for all the "modern" language toolings, as someone that is not a dev and uses Windows.
I now can just download source code of various open source projects if in Go/Node/Python, and just run/compile it. They work fine most of times.
I never had the same confidence for any C++ projects, even when the author themselves also use Windows, which is unlikely. I almost never make them work/compile successfully. If the binary isn't provided I just feel doomed.
