Do you think that generating shared library (.dll on Windows) could be part of this scope?

is this going anywhere?

hi, i came across this in ycombinator form, i find this project very interesting.
my question is, would it be feasible to bridge the "no support on windows" problem by using some form of docker or wsl?
please give pros and cons, and any helpful links, i want to do some research.

@Nikhil-Software-Cartel Hi, you can feel free to use Codon in WSL. It is perfectly supported for WSL or Docker in Windows OS.

I saw this codon/compiler/memory_manager.cpp:182:50: error: no member named 'MemLifetimePolicy' in namespace 'llvm::orc' error on the ci log.

What is currently stopping this from moving forward? Would gladly help in getting this to work if a bit more info is present

Also, I have a python application running in windows 10 that I can try and build using this product if you'd like me to. It's been running for a long time.
