I tried WSL for a bit on Windows 10 but it was so buggy and so many things did not work due to limitations in WSL that I could not use it.
I’ve always done my elixir dev in a mingw bash shell with a windows-running atom editor. I use git, iex, postgresql and all forth just fine. I chose mingw so I can compile things like bcrypt without issue, plus I know mingw. ^.^
I would never ever recommend running Windows as a dev environment, for any language really (unless you are screwed/forced into using .NET or something), if you have the choice.
I tried just running a linux gui on hypervisor but could never get the GUI to display anything but black, with no errors, so I think Windows 10 hypervisor is borked, but that is not surprising either…
Work won’t let me wipe it and install a better OS… >.>
I just set a global/system-wide git option to just use linux style line endings, so much easier.
Oh I’ve already ranted in one of the hidden boards, don’t worry, there are not many (any?) Windows fan’s here. ^.^
