Available on Windows

A language/framework on Windows

Cygwin is a collection of free software tools originally developed by Cygnus Solutions to allow various versions of Microsoft Windows to act similar to a Unix system. It aims mainly at porting software that runs on POSIX systems (such as Linux, BSD, and Unix systems) to run on Windows with little more than a recompilation. Programs ported with Cygwin work better on Windows NT, but some may run acceptably on Windows 9x. While Cygwin provides header files and libraries that makes it easier to recompile or port Unix applications for use on Windows, it does not directly make Unix binaries compatible with Windows (or vice versa).
