Julia is compiled using gcc and MSYS2 on Windows, and though support for compilation using VSC++ is kinda there, it's early. Tony would be able to explain way better, though. However, I've been doing some reading, and there might be a way to link to libjulia and thus embed Julia in a Visual Studio C/C++ program http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2096519/from-mingw-static-library-a-to-visual-studio-static-library-lib. All of the exported symbols of libjulia should be C symbols, so you don't have to worry about how gcc and VSC++ name mangle differently, making things easier. libjulia is a .dll, but if you need a .lib, then there's a technique to do that <https://adrianhenke.wordpress.com/2008/12/05/create-lib-file-from-dll/> I would be very interested in making libjulia accessable to VS.
