In fact, both the old and new versions of libuv seem to fail their test suites on WSL. I imagine they tie into the system calls pretty tightly and Microsoft may not have implemented them all fully or correctly as of the moment. Perhaps things will improve with the next release of WSL. Bill.

Julia seems to use an old version of libuv. People have noticed that libuv has problems on WSL. I don't know whether these have been fixed or not. I couldn't find any specific tickets for it. But perhaps the latest libuv works on WSL and maybe that points to a possible solution. Bill.
