If you install an X server for Windows, yes.
I've purchased X410 for this. Since then I haven't looked to see if there are free implementations of an X server that work nicely with WSL.
As a D user, I've been curious about Crystal for a while, but until it gets proper Windows support I won't be playing with it too much.

I think Zig is probably just being opinionated there; many of the new languages seem to be overly so. Last I checked, both the Zig and Nim compilers refused (on principle, not for any technical reason) to compile code containing tabs (among other things). I don't (usually) want my compiler to do linting, and I certainly don't want language authors to dictate my code style from on high.
Go is also annoying with its anal retentive source rules. I finally got so frustrated that I modified the compiler: https://github.com/kstenerud/go

C bindings, strongly-typed, a great concurrency model, very fast, and Ruby-like syntax. That makes it a very unique and appealing language to me (and others). If you / most people don’t particularly like the Ruby-like syntax, then Crystal might not appeal to you. But I can assure you to those of us who like the syntax, the language is wonderful and super fun to work with.
> C bindings, strongly-typed, a great concurrency model, very fast My point is that all this is normal, and all the languages I list have offered it for longer than Crystal.

V has other, bigger issues :/
What are some? I wrote a small ascii snake game with it and found it generally OK.
Have anyone know who is Alex?
He going to build compiler in AST, but as long as it’s useful for your works. It’s too early to tell whether it’s reliable for businesses, I’m more likely to trust Go as we know it’s battle tested.
It will definitely take more years to stabilise and promoting, other languages would have been mature and established.
Is the dev a high school student? From their blog: https://fw.neocities.org/blog/5.html If so, this is crazy impressive.
Apparently they've also written a language, a static site generator in that language, a brainf*ck interpreter, and a markdown parser, among other things. Super impressive stuff. https://github.com/ffwff?tab=repositories
This is my favorite

If so, it is definitely mind-bending. Makes me wonder what people mean about not being over-ambitious, "avoiding NIH", "worse is better", "minimizing technical risk", etc. Somehow one is made to feel (by no particular person, but by the composite emergent vibe) that there are a hundred and one reasons to be more conservative. I wonder how many people have the audacity to re-imagine their software ground-up, and the t…
The Soul of a New Machine has an amazing passage on a software developer from Data General being too inexperienced to realize that what he was doing couldn't be done, and finishing it in record time. It's safe to say that people who aren't aware of or ignore limits put out better work on average than people who don't.
Six weeks later, Dantzig’s statistic professor notified him that he had prepared one of his two “homework” proofs for publication, and Dantzig was given co-author credit on another paper several years later when another mathematician independently worked out the same solution to the second problem.

I dont believe she is underage. But she is half naked
And the windows are carefully positioned as to put her at the focus of the screenshot. And the project is named after a succubus? The overt objectification is unnecessary and unprofessional.
Two, it can also be named after the anime, Lilith.
Three, even so, nothing wrong about naming something after a succubus.
Four, I don't see the objectification. The objectification only exists in your mind.
Five, it is not a professional project. Also good for him that he didn't take the CoC (pun intended).
