Hello! I have a rough view of the gloo code. It seems only support running on Linux. Because one of the underlying transport module "libuv" is cross-platform, how big is the effort of adding Windows support to gloo? Is there a plan?
(My motivation is to run pytorch on multiple windows nodes. However, pytorch does not support distributed mode on Windows now. If gloo could support Windows, then it will enable pytorch distributed mode on Windows because pytorch's recommended underlying communication backend is gloo.)
