I’ve been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.
How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

Pick a language like Perl, where some packages are written in C and some are written in pure Perl, and you’ll get to experience the same cryptic GCC errors, sometimes. There’s no secret to
pip; many Python developers upload wheels with pre-compiled binaries, including Windows-compatible binaries, and so you don’t have to run GCC because they already did it for you.another interesting thing is optimizing runtime using mypyc. This is how our dev toolchain is so quick.
mypy, flake8, isort, … these kinda packages
Have never tried using mypyc would appreciate anyone sharing their experience with mypyc or other Python package compilers.
Thanks, this is the explanation I was looking for.
Also, lua is the same, packages are either written in c or pure lua.
