Hello!
I’m making some of my Ktor server plugins Multiplateform, and I was wondering why Ktor server was not available on Windows (https://ktor.io/docs/server-platforms.html). Is there any technical reason? Or is it just that no one made the contribution to support it yet?

JVM.
Or do you mean native support?

Native. Because JVM can run on almost everything (I mean you can run on Windows with JVM so the question would be wrong)

Starting from 3.0, ktor server modules (+ CIO server engine) are fully commonized and support all K/N targets including Windows/mingwX64 (and even androidNative). And starting from 3.1, support for js/wasmJs targets was added as well - including CIO engine over nodejs sockets
So, looks like it’s just missing from the docs 🙂

Okay, so the doc is outdated. Makes sense then.
Thank you for replying! (And I can make my ktor plugins available on more targets)
