- sunshowers 1y agoRight, but Rust makes it so you don't have to use Cygwin. It's one of the great portability advantages of Rust that you can write real Windows programs with it.
- riedel 1y agoI am not really sure if I can follow here. How could a rust compiled program like git honor my cygwin emulated mount points in paths, which I need, when working with other posix compliant software.
- sunshowers 1y agoI thought that if you invoke a native Windows binary with Cygwin, it translates Unix-looking paths into Windows ones. But it's been a long time since I used Cygwin so I could be wrong.
