This is fine as far as we're talking about proprietary Windows, but this isn't good for software freedom generally - there's ReactOS (https://reactos.org/) - a free Windows clone that is about to reach beta stage. It is unlikely they're going to implement WSL there and therefore Guile will be not usable on this platform. This could potentially stop Guile users on Windows from switching to ReactOS. If Guile were running natively on Windows, it would only benefit free software - more Guile users, more people being interested in Guix and more people switching to free alternatives. If no current Guile maintainer is interested in porting it to Windows, we could at least let people know we're looking for someone who does. It could be a GSoC proposal, Outreachy something, etc. Jan Wielkiewicz=20
