We should also talk about why this is the case. JavascriptCore. The reason Bun is so fast is mostly due to the fact that it is using Apple's JavascriptCore and what all of the benchmark comparisons are really doing are comparing Google's V8 engine to Apple's JavascriptCore engine.

So basically, there will never be Windows support until JavascriptCore is able to be used on Windows and I'm not entirely sure on the state of that. My guess is that it has limited to no support for that scenario.

Zig, the programming language Bun is written on, is currently having some Windows headaches of its own: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/12420

I wonder how much of Bun's immaturity is due to Zig's own immaturity.

Why not point the finger at Windows? Development on Windows is archaic.
