Rust supports Windows as well so it is certainly possible to port it to Windows. Literally someone asked for Windows. [0] > I am pretty sure of it. Henceforth, I don't think you are even sure.

    > macOS exists and it works with that your parent poster is obviously trolling, but macOS is some kind of BSD, so they actually took this case in account.

      My point still stands about Windows, regardless.

        Windows now includes the basics of GNU/Linux out of the box.

    > This is why most people (and developers) still use the Windows Desktop and not the thousands of Linux Desktop(s) out there. I'm failing to see the logic here. As a Linux user, trust me there are tons of people out there for which macOS is the only OS that exists or matters. It doesn't prevent people from switching to macOS. Years back that was true of nearly every Windows user as well (only Windows existed). I'm not understanding the causative chain here.
