I had the same though and looked into it. It seems that CoreCLR isn't the limitation there. It supports a variety of platforms: https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr#build-status

Looks like the authors are focused on Windows for their initial prototype development.

Yep. They are MS ingenieers, of course Windows is easier for them. Plus it's good publicity. Given that they are paying for it, it's fair they start like that.

Exactly, we started on Windows out of ease-of-start/momentum. There are absolutely no plans to make this a Windows-exclusive. Basically we want to show this work pans out before working before putting in the work to make it cross-platform (we have an open issue to move to CMake to help solve the cross-platform problem: https://github.com/Microsoft/Pyjion/issues/76).

Exciting work! Is pyjion exploratory or is MS determined to see this through?
