MinGW has always been one of the most reliable toolchains for Windows users who prefer an open-source, lightweight setup for C/C++ development. I’ve used it for a few small Android-related projects too, and its simplicity really helps when testing cross-platform builds. Interestingly, similar minimalism can be seen in modern apps like Honista APK, which focus on performance and clean architecture without unnecessary bloat. That kind of efficiency mindset really connects both worlds — coding tools and optimized apps. You can check more about Honista here: honissta.com
