[Gambas-user] Happy new year 2024!

[Admin]

Well, as someone who's software for work needs to be run on both Linux 
and Windows (and I write my software using Gambas of course), I can say 
that WSL existence is damn important. It actually makes it unnecessary 
for Gambas to be specifically Windows-compatible. I mean I see how 
Gambas is very Linux-dependant or at least UNIX-dependant so to make it 
Windows-compatible in a way that same codebase would compile on both 
Windows and Linux is almost impossible. With that said it's not even 
important if WSL is as quick as native Linux, it's enough that it exists 
and (mostly) works.  I find it kind of a miracle that I can just make a 
GUI program working with some remote database with a programming 
language designed for Linux, and than I place a program on a windows 
laptop of, say, a girl working in finance department, and the program 
just works and does what she needs. This is something you just can't 
avoid in a real world, in a corporate use case. So, yeah, from a 
popularization point of view WSL does for Gambas something that even 
Benoit can't or at least doesn't have time to do. I don't like Windows 
myself, but just to be fair.
