Mingw has been paving over the differences for years. Node.js paves over them, makes windows look very posix'y. I'm tired of Windows being an excuse, a forever dragging boat anchor, a lower than low denominator that justifies doing shitty jobs. Keep the current virtualized file system for Windows that's fine, but man, we should stop designing specs, setting the future to keep targeting the dirty distant sad past. And we have decades of experiences (mingw) showing that we can polyfill a good platform atop the big bad no good windows Boogeyman. It just feels like the make excuse for bad camp has been in charge of our spiritual direction for 25 years here & it's never gotten us anywhere. It's always pretty shitty. I struggle to believe these protestations against doing the natural good thing help. We should 100% just triple down on trying, on bringing WASI forward.
