Bash and Windows Subsystem for Linux Demo [video]
This is coming to Windows stable in April:<p>- vt sequences fixed (so stuff like colored output, midnight commander, etc work and the terminal doesn't screw up)<p>- Elixir and Go work<p>- Also Postgres and MySQL<p>- You can launch Windows apps from bash.<p>- inotify works<p>- Visual Studio can compile with GNU/Linux C/C++ tools, gdb, linker etc<p>There's some recent fast ring info on: <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/01/09/bash-in-windows-insider-build-15002-many-fixes-but-a-couple-of-bugs/" rel="nofollow">https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/01/09/bash...</a><p>From reading that blog, and also: <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuecomment-238302654" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuec...</a> it sounds as if the Windows console (separate from bash, openssh, powershell etc) is being entirely refactored for creators update. So those fixes should also help powershell, ConEmu and a bunch of other common windows command line stuff.
