It lacks first-class Windows support.

That's it. That's why it fails to gain the traction it deserves.

That never stopped the Go community from porting Go to Windows. It was never ported by core maintainers, but by Go developers themselves.

Go still lacks Windows support for certain features, e.g. plugins.

And wanting to be part of Google team helped many community contributions. Easy to compare with how much community contributions were made to Inferno and Limbo.

Fair, I had forgotten about plugins. On the other hand plugins has other nuances[0]. Plugins don't seem like a properly release feature due to its constraints.

And yet it was ported, and has OK support. Crystal on Windows is a non-starter right now.

> OK support

I havent had issues with Go on Windows or any OS, is there something broken about Go in Windows?
