       | support, but it involves installing MinGW, and when following the
       | official docs https://ocaml.org/docs/installing-ocaml#install-
       | platform-too... the process breaks down with an error when trying
       | to install utop due to a path separator error, which one has to
       | fix manually (at least that was the case last time I tried). By
       | comparison, installing Python or Rust on Windows is a breeze.
