On: Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 Moving into General Availability

Oh cool, we can just abandon all other languages and toolchains so we can switch to windows native. Why didn't I think of that?

Nah, you just target Windows with toolchains that support Windows natively, like I am expected to target UNIX with toolchains that support UNIX natively.

Your statement goes into both directions.

Guess why "Year of Linux Desktop" has failed to happen, and no, ChromeOS and Android aren't really GNU/Linux, the kernel is irrelevant to userspace languages and public APIs.
