The audacity to call this shameful is striking to me. If you feel strongly enough that this free, open source, extremely limited resource project (working on one of the largest problem spaces..) doesn't support FreeBSD, port it yourself instead of casting shame on others for not doing it. Hopefully your comment is more lighthearted than I'm giving it credit for.

It should be fairly straightforward to get it running on any mainstream *nix system. I only called out macOS and Linux specifically because we have developers actively using those systems day-to-day. :)

I'm sure someone will come and help with the port! It's just a matter of time (:

I know my comment comes out negative. Shameful wasn't the right word. It's disappointing that there is no target for *BSD.

I'm very respectful for you to attempt such a project. In no way am I dismissing your work but I see more and more projects becoming very mono orientated where it becomes a struggle for other OS's to adopt.

Why FreeBSD and not one of the other BSDs?

Good point. Going forward noted to not miss the others.

I've used all three but freebsd has so far been the only one that has stuck.

I hope there will be also a Windows port someday :P
