[JOSS] Why is Windows not supported? #74

Closed malmans2 closed 1 year ago

malmans2 commented 1 year ago

Why is Windows not supported? Is it a nightmare to maintain? I just want to make sure that you considered supporting it, I understand that it might be high effort/low reward. So feel free to close if there's no point in supporting windows.

CDO does not have native Windows support: https://code.mpimet.mpg.de/projects/cdo/wiki/Win32. It can be installed using cygwin on Windows, but supporting this in nctoolkit would be pretty difficult/elaborate and not likely worth it as netCDF users primarily work on Linux.
