A comment on Ask HN: Has Anyone Switched from Linux to Win10 Linux Subsystem for Development?.

Unfortunately for the most part it will not suffice. For example I tried to run Node and Go applications and they did not work properly.

Node had error with `pm2` package which is needed if you want to launch multiple applications a la "microservices".

Go had problems with `go get` on sqlite database.

Note that this was about two months ago, maybe things changed by now. I am very happy with Win10 in general, but that is because I use C# and do not need Linux for developing.

You might want to try again, maybe with an insider build. I had some issues with go because some Linux system calls had not been implemented. They were added in an insider build that I installed and since then I've been issue free.

The I/O performance is still a bit lacking though.
