Towards Crystal 1.0

I wonder if this problem won’t go away after WSL2.0?

How far away are we from a Windows that can run Unix/POSIX out of the box?

If anything WSL2.0 has made it clearer than WSL is a development environment, not a universal compatibility layer.

WSL is an effort to bring into Windows the crowd that buys macbooks to develop GNU/Linux software, as they are unwilling to support Linux OEMs.

The Windows developer community at large, just like Apple developers, isn't that much into UNIX compatibility layers.
