But who really cares? After all, there are the mature commercial proprietary lisp compilers for those people who insist on using closedware OSes, and they've already proven they're willing to use closedware. This, I fear, is similar to Brandon's demands for a microcrap visual-studio compatible yet open source gaming framework. or silly expectations of microsoft suite support for various open-source language implementations (just google search on groups for his name...): Might happen (has happened, to an extent), but where's the developer motivation? It's not like it's hard to install linux these days. Most open source developers would be indifferent at best to a windows port, it's not like it's even a fun challenge like a port to an obscure platform like AROS would be, you just end up with creeping hungarian notation ugliness in your code, and lots of #defines. Most people writing open source and for the fun of it just aren't going to go massively out of the way to support windows, and even if they do, they're just giving the slaves another excuse not to throw off their chains. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
