They're not that close (see my other tweets today). You're leaning on work other people have already done to shim them.

And one small project supporting Windows won't improve contribution much. But if an entire ecosystem does it helps.

Typescript has tons of Windows contribs as does Angular. Both make Windows experience first class.

I'm not asking you to make a personal sacrifice. I'm saying if we all worked harder to support Windows we'd be paid back and then some.

And I’m suggesting Microsoft should do more to close the gap

Sure but those shims are baked into the platform. POSIX required shims

Which platform? Node?

OS largely. Patched over in some cases further up the stack.

This is just not true. POSIX is missing huge amounts of key functionality like modern select, description of compiler/linker, etc.

It's not on you to fix any of this, but it wouldn't hurt to get more of a groundswell of support for abstractions that support Windows.
