Windows support?

Does this support windows, or does it have plans to in the future?
I'm honestly not sure if this works on or can be made to work on Windows at the moment. I'm not across the efforts in bringing Swift and SwiftPM to Windows.
From my experience Swift for Windows isn't that good. Installation can be complicated and some things might not work - for me it's the Repl for example. If you can try using WSL since Mint runs on Linux and overall the experience is better than Windows version of Swift tools and stuff, also installation is easier because of Linux package managers like apt or dnf but Swift team still didn't mention them so it might look like Windows package is easier to install but for Ubuntu is just adding a community repo and installing Swift like any Debian/Ubuntu program. Anyway the easiest Swift experience is on Fedora but I haven't used it inside WSL - only in VMs and bare metal, still its just one sudo dnf install swiftlang and then install mint your preferred way like with Homebrew
