[1] A note for Windows users: As mentioned, Hana requires a C++14 conforming compiler. If you would like to try it, a VM with Linux and clang 3.5 is a fairly painless option.
The current Cygwin has clang 3.5.1 and g++ 4.9.2, both of which are C++14 (enough for practical use.)
Clang 3.5.1 should be fine. However, GCC 4.9.2 is unfortunately missing variable templates, which are an important feature used in Hana. No version of GCC currently compiles Hana, although we're almost there. A port to GCC is currently on its way, but I am waiting for the GCC team to fix a bug [1] which causes constexpr variable templates to produce link errors. If the GCC team is responsive enough, Hana should be fully functional with GCC 5.2. Louis [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65719
