Ah, it's time for my every-two-monthly check to see if Ocaml is treated like it's still usable on windows...
Nope, and now they've even removed the 'it'll be a first class target when we've finished rewriting OPAM' promise that was there for 3+ years, that's not good.
- nequo 2y agoThere's a working group that just formed to improve OCaml's Windows support: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ocaml-windows-working-group/14755 https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ocaml-windows-working-group/1475...
- tpetr 2y agoAgree it’s taken a long time but have you seen https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-opam-2-2-0-beta3/14772 https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-opam-2-2-0-beta3/14772 ?

I'll keep a more vigilant eye on it for the next month or two. Ironically, I can't even remember what v5 feature it was that was a deal breaker (to not have) anymore, anyway.
- tpetr 2y agoYeah I’m pumped! I spent way too much time banging my head against the wall earlier in the year trying to compile Semgrep for windows.
