# Learning WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on NodeJS Express Example

# What is WSL?

The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup.

You can:

* Choose your favorite GNU/Linux distributions from the Microsoft Store.
* Run common command-line tools such as grep, sed, awk, or other ELF-64 binaries.
* Run Bash shell scripts and GNU/Linux command-line applications including:
* Tools: vim, emacs, tmux
* Languages: NodeJS, Javascript, Python, Ruby, C/C++, C# & F#, Rust, Go, etc.
* Services: SSHD, MySQL, Apache, lighttpd, MongoDB, PostgreSQL.
* Install additional software using your own GNU/Linux distribution package manager.
* Invoke Windows applications using a Unix-like command-line shell.
* Invoke GNU/Linux applications on Windows.
