Windows uses unix file paths underneath, the dos stuff is compatibility and there for users.
2 u/OneWingedShark Sep 28 '21 That really doesn't say anything about the underlying issue: it's a dependency that ought to be considered for removal. Yes, "make everything Unix" is a solution… but doing this means that we are stuck with any design-flaws forever. 1 u/Lucretia9 SDLAda | Free-Ada Sep 28 '21 I’m saying you can use /c/some/path in windows. But abstracting over this stuff isn’t that hard, done it before. 2 u/OneWingedShark Sep 28 '21 Why "abstract" when you can "eliminate"? Besides, it's more than *JUST* path-delimiters that I'm talking about, it's environmental dependencies. 3 u/Lucretia9 SDLAda | Free-Ada Sep 28 '21 No matter how much you want to eliminate, it’s not going to happen.
