If making Bazel work on Windows is a side effect of Firefox using it, what's not to like about it.


Bazel already works on Windows.


"Works" can mean very different things on Windows. On one extreme you can have proper integration that covers Windows' idiosyncrasies such as automatically finding and setting up the Visual Studio environment instead of making the user jump through hoops like starting the dev command prompt. And on the other extreme you can have something hacky like "requires Cygwin" which I personally wouldn't even call "works".


It works in the best sense (no dev prompt, does not require cygwin)
