I recently switched back to windows due to various reasons. However, I miss the feeling of using julia under linux. Now that windows subsystem for linux (WSL) is quite stable now. Is it possible to use julia in WSL in juno?

I’m using WSL using the `Julia Client: Connect External Process` command in Juno [http://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/faq.html#Setting-up-Julia-1](http://docs.junolab.org/stable/man/faq.html#Setting-up-Julia-1) and then running `using Atom; using Juno; Juno.connect(<RemotePort>)` in julia (in WSL).
