Description

Hello!

Currently CI runs on OSX and Linux, and there's plans to add #292 .

It would be great to see Windows added to this list! It's an extremely popular OS and GitHub actions has free Windows support.

Traditionally Erlang neglects Windows support so it would be great to have it as a first class citizen of Lumen, taking full advantage of the cross-platform strengths of Rust and LLVM.

Thanks, Louis
