    I mean, this sounds like less of a headache then my latest attempt to setup rust in native windows (hello linker errors).

    That being said, “the tool chain is a pain in the ass to setup” is a real problem IMO. MSVC makes me want to jump out the window every time I’m forced to use it at work.

    If you’re going to cause me more of a headache then go/python/zig to setup (which is basically none) I’m very quickly going to look for an excuse to stop using you.

      For rust the cross compilation may be useful, if you need a windows binary but can write te program in Linux.
