I have had a huge amount of issues trying to use both Ruby and Rust on Windows for server / client use cases. It's not just that it "works" on Windows, but that it works easily out of the box for common use cases.

Meanwhile Python and Golang work great on Windows with no extra effort. It's like night and day.

What issues did you have with Rust? I use Rust on Windows every day.

It's been a while, but it was the common issue with certs that Ruby on Windows also has. I just couldn't get it sorted for whatever reason. Maybe it's not an issue anymore though? Rust http client works OOTB on Windows?

I have not had any cert issues, but I also have a pretty normal network. Maybe it’s better now!
