This language looks really great and inspiring. I love all of its concepts. It would be nice to have versions for OSs beyond just windows. if I can be of assistance with this let me know. GC

What makes you think this is Windows only? The docs talk about the 6 platforms this builds on (Win/Lin/Mac/iOS/Android/Web), and our CI tests 5 of those.

Under RELEASES it says "Windows release"

aardappel commented 1 year ago

Well, maybe read some docs before concluding anything from just the releases page? :)

You should generally build this on your platform, but Windows users are a) not very used to that, and b) constitute the largest segment of users, so hence a build is provided.

We may do that eventually for more platforms, but its early days.

I apologize for misunderstanding. I will try to build under macOS and Linux and let you know if I see any issues.

aardappel commented 1 year ago

The releases will now include Linux & Mac at least
