You're welcome. I will give you one more fun anecdote here: when I came to Oxide, nobody in my corner of the company was using Windows. And hubris and humility almost Just Worked: we had one build system issue that was using strings instead of the path APIs, but as soon as I fixed those, it all worked. bcantrill remarked that if you had gone back in time and told him long ago that some of his code would Just Work on Windows, he would have called you a liar, and it's one of the things that validates our decisions to go with Rust over C as the default language for development inside Oxide.

That would be pretty funny, ha! IIRC something about simulated omicron doesn't work inside WSL, but since I don't work on it actively, I haven't bothered to try and patch that up. I think I tried one time, I don't remember specifically what the issue was, as I don't generally use WSL for development, so it's a bit foreign to me as well.
- panick21_ 3y ago> that was using strings instead of the path API Man you can't let Brain live that one down can you? :)
- steveklabnik 3y agoI didn't bother to git blame the code, I myself do this from time to time :)
