Sorry that wasn't clear. Mainstream programming is what I meant (e.g. Haskell).

Haskell is an example of mainstream programming?!

I am all for more acceptance of languages like Haskell in the industry, but that is as far as it can get from mainstream.

Mainstream is C, C++, Java, C#, ...

I was hoping this one would course-correct itself... (Reading comprehension). "Windows is pretty much always going to be a second class citizen once you take a half-step outside the mainstream."

He said... Windows is a pain in the ass if you do anything off the really-well-beaten path (like Haskell). And even then, yes, C/C++ can be a pain in Windows (again, see the linked project).
