Why no Windows support?

Detailed Description

I'm so happy to have found this. Vim is getting too simple out of the box and NeoVim is a plugin hell and even though I find it all very interesting, I really just want to work.

But, like many others, I am forced to use Windows so I was just wondering why you have chosen not to support Windows. I kinda feel like one of the big selling points of Nim is the no-dependency binary that can be compiled for any platform with a C compiler.

Thank you for your interest in this project.

As you say, I think Windows support is important as well.
The reason why moe still doesn't support Windows is because I usually only use Arch Linux, I don't use Windows and have no development experience...
I might be able to add support for it if you help.

Is 'ncurses' the only Linux specific library?

I would love to help out when I have a little extra time. I am already following along now and have been using the editor for a couple of hours this evening. Unfortunately came across quite a few bugs already that I do not know if is WSL2 specific bugs or not. I'll open an issue with a little bug report

Probably. At least it will work on Linux if we have Nim and Ncureses that compile to C.
I don't know details but someone tried using PDCurses in the past and it didn't seem to work.

Thank you! About bugs, I'll fix it quickly If the cause is known.

About Windows support, if I can figure out how to do it, I might test it on Windows.

Sound great mate. I'm going to keep using it and giving you feedback. And as soon as I have a little time we'll see if there's anything I can do to help out
