Oil runs on WSL because the Windows kernel emulates the Linux kernel.

But I chatted with Phil Eaton on Twitter about a native Windows port for Oil (i.e. using the Win32 API).

I think it would be cool. I don't personally need it, but it might help get other people on board with the project.

And I think Oil is very well factored for this. Almost all the I/O happens in core/process.py and core/executor.py, which are translated to C++.
