Is the Zig compiler in a state where Roc is ready to compile and run on Windows?

Both compilers old and new build and run on Windows.

I haven't made a new release of Windows for the rust compiler in a while, but the last I checked my graphics platform roc-ray worked well

Oh I misread your message. Yes the Zig compiler works on Windows the same as on the other systems

It's not really very useful right now though as most things sre a WIP

Does that answer your question? or are you asking if you can use roc cli on Windows to run programs like basic-cli?

Yes, but now I'm curious. Does roc cli compiled from Zig work on Windows to run ROC programs like basic-cli?

The zig compiler can not build basic-cli yet.
