To the credit of both Microsoft and the Rust team, Windows has become a much easier platform to develop on than when that sentence was written!

As a maintainer of a CLI program in Rust that runs on Windows, it is mostly a pretty nice experience. The only painful part was getting colors working in both MSYS terminals and cmd/PowerShell based terminals.

I do have a Windows 7 VM setup for testing, but I also bought a cheap Windows 10 laptop to test on as well.

You should probably write to exa developer, no? Perhaps, help out a fellow tool developer to bring the goodness of your tools to us devs on Windows? :)

It's available as a library: https://docs.rs/termcolor/0.3.2/termcolor/

The developer in me jumps with joy when the existence of (us poor) devs on Windows is acknowledged and gosh, even prioritized ("no v1.0 before windows"). I'm a fan for you just saying that!

PS: I develop on Windows
