Hi,

Crystal is an exciting project with lots of potential. I am interested in the possibility of a Crystal compiler for Windows. How feasible is that idea, and how much work would it be?

Specifically, I would like to be able to compile a Crystal program into a Windows .DLL file with exported C functions. I don't care if I run the actual Crystal compiler on a Linux or Windows machine, I just want to end up with a DLL library that will run on Windows.

I have knowledge of Ruby and some C, and I'm willing to dive into learning about LLVM if it means I can contribute here. I would be pleased if you could point me in the right direction.

Regards,
Justin
