'bat' for cygwin

Has anyone compiled bat for cygwin64?

If not, could it be added for consideration to be added to the
repository, please?

Meanwhile, although I know 0% about Rust, if someone can tell me how to
install Rust, then I could take a shot at compiling it myself.

Thanks

Also Rust does not support a cygwin build:

Marco,

Well, that's disappointing; however, it's not an essential for my project.

While bat is nicer, cat will suffice. I will add a presence test to
use bat when it exists and fall back to cat. The few cygwin instances
I have will just have to be jealous of their linux counterparts!

Thank you

No you can't.  Upstream rust has refused to support Cygwin on multiple
occasions because they "already support Windows".  Gcc rust has not
yet materialized and once it does, it remains to be see how long it'll
take for Cygwin to actually have a working port.

N.B.: Go has the same issues with slightly differing details.
