I coded with Windows Subsystem for Linux for a week! And it’s actually pretty good.

This is a way to run a GNU/Linux environment directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup. The command-line tools, utilities, and applications you’re used to, and without the stupid backslashes that for some reason Windows has yet to change.

The program I built to test it out - a code racing website to put your typing skills to the test, but more on that next video. Let’s talk WSL, the system I’ve been averse to ever since its initial release 6 years ago.
