given a number of essential Sage dependencies which don't work on (native) Windows, such as GAP and Singular, native Windows port probably won't happen - unless funding amounting to several person-years can be found to fix these, by people working full-time on this for years. The situation with WASM is similar. (I heard about GAP people experimenting with WASM, but it's very preliminary). > Greater > portability would make Sage more attractive for use as a software > dependency.

This is realistic, but I doubt that the current modularisation project is of any help. What is realistic, and what modularisation has reportedly made more difficult, is packaging Sage for Linux distros.
