This is an extremely strong statement. Which is so obviously factually incorrect that I tend to think you might have meant something else.

As a Windows user, I find random Rust projects work on Windows far more often than random C ones, even if the authors didn’t make a specific attempt to support Windows.

"work" as in "build"? I would agree with that.

		And run. My colleague Bryan Cantrill, famously a huge Unix guy, once said to me “if you had told me that projects I write would just work on Windows at the rate they do, I wouldn’t have believed you.” When I started at Oxide I had to submit like one or two patches to use Path instead of appending strings and that was it, for my (at the time) main work project.
