🚀 What does Easy Binary do?

Setting up compilers on Windows (PATH variables, MinGW downloads, JDK configurations) is notoriously tedious for students and beginners.

Easy Binary automatically detects missing language runtimes or compilers when you run your code and provisions them silently in the background using Windows Package Manager (winget).
