Defaults cause zig to error out. This isn't that hard to understand or fix. It isn't even clear when it happens because it's just not something that any other compiler would error on. It isn't about being able to fix it, it about creating an assanine hurdle for anyone trying the language for the first time in windows. No other compiler or scripting language makes someone jump through that hoop. It is completely ridiculous. I still can not believe anyone would defend this decision. Do you want people to use it or not?
I have no issue with that decision at all and find it akin to Go forcing users to adhere to gofmt, and I don't use Zig. A good error message would be nice (EDIT: A zigfmt would be even better).
How many developers who try out new languages are even using Windows? I'd imagine most are on a UNIX-like.
Regardless, I don't think it's a big deal either way. You could always make a merge request with a fix if you feel so strongly about it.
