Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I cannot run starport on a pure Windows Powershell terminal, like on Windows 10. However, Go Lang works perfectly on Windows 10 and I develop applications without shifting to a Linux-based environment, this is not the case with running starport yet I reckon it is built with Go Lang

Describe the solution you'd like Could there be a starport build that works on Windows servers and development environments? I believe this would help developers, me especially, to build a blockchain using starport on a Windows PC, on VS Studio Code, without having to shift to Windows Subsystem for Linux or renting out a Linux server. It would also be effective by building the frontend(Vue/Typescript) in the same environment and workspace as the blockchain itself, instead of shifting back and forth servers. I also think this would make it unavoidable having to build a C# SDK etc. for Windows Developers since the starport build would work natively on Windows as well

Describe alternatives you've considered I have used Windows Subsystem for Linux but it is just not fun having to shift servers. It also slows my development speed horribly, yet I shifted to using Starport and Go because using Rust for Blockchains(my previous cup of tea) held me back to building on Linux servers only, that is why I came to Cosmos' Starport, with the hope of getting the advantage of Go running natively on Windows. Thank you.

Thanks for creating an issue for this! In the foreseeable future, we won't have the bandwidth to maintain a Windows version of Starport, but we're open to pull-requests 👍

Looking for same. All major development tool has first class support for Windows without relying on WSL. Hardhat dApp development work flawlessly. We can also use Go, Rust on Windows without any problem.

Unfortunately, we still do not have the bandwidth for Windows. We still encourage Windows users to use WSL!
