My preferred code style is 2-space K&R. This is intended to provide a justification for this style.

Why K&R?

K&R style has the following properties:

1. Provides symmetric size (in terms of screen space consumed) between the opening and closing syntax of a clode block.
2. Forces no empty or meaningless lines, thereby avoiding artificial distance between related things that should be together.
3. Consumes the minimum vertical space while keeping the opening and closing syntax of a block on separate lines from the content.

MinGW doesn't provide a linux-like environment, that is MSYS(2) and/or Cygwin

Cygwin is an attempt to create a complete UNIX/POSIX environment on Windows. 
MinGW is a C/C++ compiler suite which allows you to create Windows executables - you only 
need the normal MSVC runtimes, which are part of any normal Microsoft Windows installation.

MinGW provides headers and libraries so that GCC (a compiler suite, 
not just a "unix/linux compiler") can be built and used against the Windows C runtime.

Install WSL2

Ensure that you have WSL installed (you can find instructions to do so here) and that you are running Windows 10 build 18917 or higher

To make sure you are using build 18917 or higher please join the Windows Insider Program and select the 'Fast' ring or the 'Slow' ring.

You can check your Windows version by opening Command Prompt and running the ver command.

Enable the 'Virtual Machine Platform' optional component and make sure WSL is enabled
