This is coming to Windows stable in April:

- vt sequences fixed (so stuff like colored output, midnight commander, etc work and the terminal doesn't screw up)

- Elixir and Go work

- Also Postgres and MySQL

- You can launch Windows apps from bash.

- inotify works

- Visual Studio can compile with GNU/Linux C/C++ tools, gdb, linker etc

There's some recent fast ring info on: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/2017/01/09/bash...

From reading that blog, and also: https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/111#issuec... it sounds as if the Windows console (separate from bash, openssh, powershell etc) is being entirely refactored for creators update. So those fixes should also help powershell, ConEmu and a bunch of other common windows command line stuff.
