## Does it run on Windows?

Yes. All development happens in lockstep on all 3 target platforms (using MinGW, not Cygwin). Note that the Windows implementation currently has some limitations; in particular, the 64-bit build is [not fully supported yet][win64], and all executables created by rustc [depend on libgcc DLL at runtime][libgcc].

libgcc is dynamically linked on 32-bit windows. (It's a known limitation of dwarf implementation of win32.)


## Is it OO? How do I do this thing I normally do in an OO language?
