I'm working on our CI/CD right now and this looks like it would made my life easier.

Killer feature for me here would be if you could run the same Earthfile on a mac or a windows machine.

Thanks for checking it out. You can totally do that. We are using moby/buildkit and docker to provide this platform independence.

Even better would be support for Windows instead of WSL.

I've really come to be frustrated with the a pattern where developers treat "it builds on Ubuntu LTS WSL2" as the same thing as "it works on windows"

Could I do something like run one build on a windows CI host and also test that things behave the same way on linux and mac.

Yeah, I use azure so I can get build support for linux, windows, osx. I wish I could simplify all that, but with windows I need call native C++ toolchain (using rust).

Earthly team member here. Yes, we're working on native windows support as we speak. This has been highly requested.

Glad to hear it!
