I’ve been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

    I think this is talking about basic functionality, eg. can you do basic stuff with a clean install without everything immediately breaking

    There’s a lot of programming tools that are primarily developed for and on linux, and “windows support” is an afterthought which will result in linux being a very frictionless experience but windows being a minefield of problems and requiring careful manual setup
