I was working on some fortran code that was wrapped using f2py, so this was needed to test it on windows. As the fortran compilers on windows are kinda trash, bringing the entire system to windows (using msys2) was easier than compiling on native windows tools. Now f2py is broken for distributing packages, so the toolchain changed. It was fun to make this frankensteins monster hahaha.
That was a fun read. I’m not quite that tech savvy. Why would someone prefer Linux features on Windows rather than Windows features on Linux?

Cool. I learned something new today. That does sound like a chimera.
