       I am a bit sad that everyone in the rust community seems excited about embracing and simplification of MSVC builds on Windows.MSVC is a very non-free, license-restricted thing. It should be treated as a very last resort option when there is no other way to build a binary for a platform. While on windows there are plenty of alternatives - msys is one of them, but doing what zig is so much better!

       like, yeah, msvc is more suitable for corporate usage, I dig itbut open-source and rust community definitely made a wrong turn somewhere if we are more excited about compliance with corporate culture than the freedom(?) or beauty(?)
