Since a new build of Windows with WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) just got out, author took the chances and tried out a whole new developer experience: Doing web development in Windows! And by web development author means fullstack. By Sebastian Deutsch.

The article deals with:

  • Meet the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)
  • Getting WSL2 up & running
  • Installing Rails & Friends
  • Tools that make me happy

We liked the list of tools which will improve developer’s productivity including: Hain (quick launcher for windows), Fast Node Manager (fnm), conda – Package, dependency and environment management for any language—Python, R, Ruby, Lua, Scala, Java, JavaScript, C/ C++, FORTRAN. Would the author switch to Windows/WSL2 for development? Follow the link to full article to get answer. Great read!
