The great thing for me about WSL (and why IMHO it was worth all the effort they put into it), is that because the kernel process tree is running as a native Windows process tree, I don’t have to pre-allocate memory ahead of time. CoLinux did that years before WSL1 did. Sadly, the project is dead and AFAIK it never really worked on Windows 64-bit, only on 32-bit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Linux https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_Linux
