Except for Windows.
- BoingBoomTschak 2y agoHappy this was thought out! Still everything in one tool, but glad modularity was truly considered. > Except for Windows. Of course POSIX portability doesn't apply to OSes which intentionally ignore it. I think I have another flame appreciating guy on the other side of the conversation =)
- burntsushi 2y agoIt just means that your claims about portability are, in the real world, far less useful than is imagined. I ship software to Windows users and the "portability" of POSIX doesn't help there. Doesn't matter why to me. It just means that I can't depend on POSIX for the "portability" benefits that its proponents seem to cite so enthusiastically.
