Does tvix support targeting windows? And I do not mean WSL. iirc, the nix attempted a windows port but there were some hardcoded assumptions made about unix in the implementation that made it intractable, for example the location of the store. Do these issues also hold for tvix?


(Nix itself is slowly chugging along with Windows via MinGW - https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-on-windows/1113/108 and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1320 , for example.)


[not related to this thread]

working on a project that I'd love to run by you in the men's health space.

came across a comment you made on a previous post, so figured I'd reach out.

The form of this message pattern-matches perfectly to spam, by the way, especially from an account whose only activity is to make essentially this same post three times; if you are in fact human, you might want to do something about that (such as being precise about which comment you mean, and why it's relevant).


Tvix developer here; we do have Windows in mind. Rust makes a bunch of things easier regarding this, but _not everything_. It's not a priority.

The location of the store is not really the main blocker in those sorts of situations, IMHO.


I recently learnt about this: https://nlnet.nl/project/libnix/

A project funded by the EU to bring Nix to Windows.
