@avifenesh Thank you for your reply. I'm using Java and I'm thinking of using Valkey instead of redis and using the spring framework to integrate with valkey-glide. But the Windows platform is not supported at the moment, which annoys me. Hopefully sooner support for the Windows platform will be rolled out

Sure, we will look into it.

At the moment, java (and python and node) clients cannot support windows, because these clients use unix-specific feature (UDS). Go and C# clients have another design without UDS and can support windows.
As an alternative option I can propose using WSL to run GLIDE on windows. Me and @jamesx-improving use windows PC to develop the clients, it works well.

[asafpamzn]

@livk-cloud will WSL support works for you.
@avifenesh please check with the rust team (Ariel) on Sunday. Maybe rust added support to UDS in windows and we can provide a solution for windows users.

[avifenesh]

@asafpamzn Will do!
@livk-cloud Please share if WSL is fine as a temporary solution, so we know if it's a blocker and we can prioritize.

[livk-cloud]

@asafpamzn @avifenesh WSL is indeed a temporary solution, I need to use IDEA to connect to the local one　
WSL。 But if you consider teamwork, I can't force everyone to use WSL. Although Windows is not currently supported, I feel that we need to add support to Windows, just like jedis and lettuce, for multi-platform

It's time for java FFI client.
