- DASD 13y agoThank you. For those interested in the original FAQ(https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Doc-language-FAQ https://github.com/mozilla/rust/wiki/Doc-language-FAQ) and hence my reason for asking... "Does it run on Windows? Yes. All development happens in lock-step on all 3 target platforms. Using MinGW, not Cygwin. Note that the windows implementation currently has some limitations: in particular tasks cannot unwind on windows, and all Rust executables require a MinGW installation at runtime."
- kibwen 13y agoNote that that bug is filed under the "backwards compatible" milestone, which is the absolute minimum for a 1.0 release. Barring drastic circumstances, you should assume that MSVC support will land before then. However, Rust really needs Windows-savvy developers! If you can help, please do.
- shadowfox 13y agoFound the list of windows bugs after a bit of searching: https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues?direction=desc&labels=A-windows&page=1&sort=created&state=open https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues?direction=desc&labels... Seems like there are a few straightforward "fixables" in there.
