Newbie -> nbio: Platform recommendation poll

Help
1

Hi everyone,

My favorite niche in open source is messaging systems, latest (tofu) was written in Zig

Now I want to move its internal engine from Reactor to Proactor(Io.Evented) , but Io.Evented will be ready next year

Instead of waiting, I decided to experiment in Odin

Idea is simple: develop “otofu” using Odin(+nbio proactor) with same message-first mindset

A small personal note

My first programming language was ALGOL-60.
Several were added later.

But new programming languages and the joy of programming still matter to me.

In Odin I am a newbie again and don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Usually I start my open source projects on Linux, later adding Windows and macOS.
macOS is always the tricky one—I don’t own a Mac, and my attempts to run it in a Fedora VM have failed
Testing there is… complicated.

As a newbie nbio user, I’d like to start from the most stable platform
(Cross-platform infrastructure is always tricky…)

If the poll below fails to deliver, just reply with your thoughts and advice!

Thank you!

Which platform should I prioritize for nbio based development?
  • Linux
  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Does not matter
  • Don’t start at all

The entire point of core:nbio is to be a cross platform non-blocking I/O package, so this poll literally makes ZERO sense.

No problem, i understand the goal

During tofu development i fixed same parts of std manually , so am looking most tested part

I’ll take your answer as Does not matter

Thanks
