12 Mercurial was written with platform independence in mind. Therefore most of Mercurial is written in Python, with a small part written in C for performance reasons. As a result, binary releases are available on all major platforms. 12 Mercurial was written with platform independence in mind.

15 The functionality of Mercurial can be increased with extensions, either by activating the official ones which are shipped with Mercurial or downloading some [from the wiki](http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/UsingExtensions) or by [writing your own](http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/index.cgi/WritingExtensions). Extensions are written in Python and can change the workings of the basic commands, add new commands and access all the core functions of Mercurial. 15 The functionality of Mercurial can be increased with extensions, either by activating the official ones which are shipped with Mercurial or downloading some [from the wiki](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/UsingExtensions) or by [writing your own](http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/WritingExtensions).
