Any Windows support coming? My dev team is on Windows, this could be a game-changer.

Wsl2 runs a Linux vm so it definitely feasible and has the api's necessary.

It is on the roadmap, but frankly I haven't used Windows in a decade. I would love for a contributor to take that on as part of the free and open source spirit.

Sounds like it could be you? :)

I wish it could, but, like your housekeeper, I don't do Windows. ;-)
