What about Windows? Any plans?

What about Windows? Any plans?

Yes plans, but nothing we can show yet. See #216.

[BanzaiMan]

If Homebrew can install (or have already installed) a language runtime, you can get around these shortcomings by installing it and managing $PATH. For example, #2318 (comment).

The problem, of course, is that you can't share .travis.yml with the Linux workers, since the language value will have to be different. One may create a separate branch, but the build will be completely disjoint.

@rkh, Travis docs says that you are at capacity with Mac workers. Is there any plans to change this?

[roidrage]

@Sannis yes, there are, but we don't have a timeline yet.

Thanks, will waiting for that.
