POSIX sh is a better interpreter than python
Even in environments such as win32, we have https://frippery.org/busybox/ that is just fucking awesome. Staying the size below an 1mb while being extremely fast. Unlike the shitty python package which has 40mb archive size and leave breadcrumbs for me to cleanup all over my filesystem.

God's developer console
Look into busybox for windows https://frippery.org/busybox/. Pretty bad ass even with it’s downsides of missing applets and such

Does vim suck on windows?
Vim by itself means no supporting unix environment. It's useful to call out to powerful external tools not present by default on Windows. I fill that gap with busybox-w32. It's not a big deal once solved.

looking for a graphics library
Sure, it's not necessary, but a few simple, nice tools (<600kiB for an entire suite of extended unix utilities) makes thing a whole lot simpler on a platform devoid of nice tools.

Compress lots of files into lots of individual files?
To operate on many files you'll need better tools than what Windows gives you. One option is busybox-w32 (important caveat: doesn't support unicode paths), which will get you some basic command line tools. For example, to gzip compress every file under the current directory, including subdirectories (leaving the originals behind with -k):

Windows verison of cal
busybox-w32 includes a cal applet. If that's all you care about, you can just rename busybox.exe to cal.exe.

What's in your tool belt?
busybox-w32: standard unix utilities for Windows. It's a BusyBox port.

Makefile example project for Windows with source, include, libs and build folders. Also with a detailed explanation!
IHMO, even better is to just use POSIX sh in your Makefile and simply make it a build requirement. It's easy to obtain a reasonable sh even on Windows (Cygwin, MSYS2, busybox-w32), and to further support exactly this I include sh alongside make in my development kit distribution. This uniformity lets me hit all operating systems with the same Makefile. I use EXE from the environment to determine the binary file extension, if any.

Ask HN: Show me your half baked project
Next Generation Shell. As a shell, it's a programming language and a UI. Half baked: programming language - pretty much done, we use it at work; UI - just starting to work on.
Ananlysis of what's wrong with current shells' UIs and how to fix it - https://blog.ngs-lang.org/2023/09/30/ui-in-ngs/
Project - https://github.com/ngs-lang/ngs
Any help would be appreciated of course :)

AWS while being great at the underlying services, had by far the worst user experience ever existed on a platform at that scale
