linux/osx are "close enough" that you can often write code to support both without actually working directly on both systems. not windows.
No. I'm saying people have worked very hard to make it easy to support OSX/Linux and not very hard to add on Windows.

-
If you write a Rust program using the Rust stdlib and are even a little careful, chances are it works fine on Windows.
-
Node: sort of true, but still a lot of gotchas (like scripts in package.json implicitly depending on bash)
-
Writing core infra: very, very hard. Most core-core libs have forks for OSX/Linux but dropped Windows on the floor.
-
My stance is: let's stop dropping windows on the floor. Care more about stuff like "scripts" accidental dependence at a platform level.
-
I'm not asking you to personally bear the burden. I'm asking us all to demand more from core infra. And I think it pays for itself ...
-
at that level by increasing the amount of available contributors. But again, this is something that works from the top. ...
-
I'm not asking you personally to eat your veggies.
