Windows support is very important for all kinds of apps and libraries

I didn't 'play' yet with Crystal exactly for that reason: lack of Windows support.

edit: Windows 7

If you just want to play with it, and have windows 10, it runs fine in the Linux emulator thingy.

Having a hacky workaround isn't the same thing as first class support. Bash on Windows 10 is in my mind similar to resorting to Cygwin. No thanks. I despise Windows, but if you have an overbearing IT dept, that's your only option.

Edit* Just saw where you said "play"

Check out the docs, online "playground", and/or test it on a linux VM or droplet!
