Bash has been ported to windows probably more than once. There are a few clunky corners but it works well enough.

Not gonna say it’s easy but may be less difficult than it appears to some.

Looks like rust is reasonably well working with cygwin/msys2 based on some github issues, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79854 . Given that, I'd expect that this rust rewrite should work under them at least. Though it's obviously not a fully native build since you've got a bunch of compatibility layers involved to bring in those mentioned unixisms.
