That issue doesn't justify saying it has poor support. Rust is known to have excellent support for Windows, and has the exact same dependency.

- svnpenn 4y agoI don't think you know what you're talking about. Rust has "windows-gnu", which doesn't require a Visual Studio installation.
- throwup 4y agoThe ad-hominem isn't advancing your cause lol. Rust defaults to the MSVC toolchain. Surely you knew that. You have to go out of your way to install the incompatible GNU toolchain. You're the only one here complaining about MSVC. Have you stopped to consider why Rust and Odin and so many other languages are happily depending on MSVC instead of the alternatives? Or does none of that matter and your opinion is the only correct opinion?
- svnpenn 4y ago> incompatible GNU toolchain. incompatible? incompatible with what? Ive been using it for years with no problem. > You're the only one here complaining about MSVC. The ad-hominem isn't advancing your cause lol.
- simplotek 4y ago> The ad-hominem isn't advancing your cause lol. There was no ad-hominem. OP pointed out your initial claim contrasts with the facts. > Rust defaults to the MSVC toolchain. Surely you knew that. (...) This reads like a non-sequitur. The claim you've replied to was that Odin had poor windows support, and OP pointed out that Rust also supported Windows without msvc toolchains. > You're the only one here complaining about MSVC. Sorry, you're clearly speaking while oblivious to the discussion. The message you've replied to includes a link to a ticket asking Odin to shed it's dependency on msvc. It's clearly titled "move away from msvc". https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/discussions/2047 https://github.com/odin-lang/Odin/discussions/2047 I believe you owe OP an apology.
