I do everything under WSL on Windows. So, still effectively Linux :) As for Cygwin, that was my choice for a long time when I started with OCaml. For building fully-native Windows apps, I've used https://fdopen.github.io&#x2

Agreed on Js_of_ocaml as a stable choice. However, even Js_of_ocaml is suffering a slight complication :P There is the recent release of Brr https://erratique.ch/software/brr/doc/ , a Js_of_ocaml library repla
