Sadly in my daily work I have to work on Windows platform and I still need to use vim every day.

I tried compiling kak-lsp on the Windows native Rust toolchain, and it failed (which I should h… --- ## [As a windows user peering in: god do I wish this had proper Windows support!](https://discuss.kakoune.com/t/as-a-windows-user-peering-in-god-do-i-wish-this-had-proper-windows-support/673)

I understand that parts of the app are baked into unix, but I would absolutely love support.
