I tried using it on Windows, but it failed to compile as soon as I used file IO. The error was non-descriptive and had no matches online. I couldn't figure it out so I tried it without file IO, but as others have said the compiler is odd, the errors are odd, and in general doesn't feel like the tooling is nearly as good as most other popular languages

Amazing article, thanks for sharing. I really appreciate the deep investigations in response to the comments
