There's some significant performance differences between bare metal linux and WAL 2 as per phoronix' recent testing: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=windows10-may2020-wsl2&num=2; I'd be wary of recommending it for *production* workloads but it certainly seems to work fine for dev.
(context for those that don't know: I did the initial full windows support work back in 2014-2015) - my impression is that it's not a ton of work to keep things up to date / working with windows fwiw, but we as a community don't have anyone committed to maintaining support in 4.0 for Windows. It seems our general impression as a dev community is that there's minimal appetite for production usage of C* on Windows but we're lacking empirical evidence for or against. reached out with an explicit request for donation of support, making it > explicit that we will be removing support if none is forthcoming Seems like a reasonable enough approach to me.
