I understand that it's not a priority right now, but how hard would it be to port Rethink to other unix-like operation systems?


We ported to OS X in about three weeks, and we have an outstanding pull request for FreeBSD support (https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/pull/688), so as long as it's a Unix-like operating system, there a reasonable amount of work involved.

Porting to Windows is another level of complexity altogether.


slava @ rethink here. I would love to get a windows port (if only because it will give us the option to use Visual Studio's debugger). Unfortunately it's a rather non-trivial undertaking. I'd like to get this done some time within a year, but I can't make any promises.


Right now there are much useful issues then MS Windows support ;)
