I don't see .lib being all that common, but it might just be what I'm used to. `.so` or `.dll` or such sure (though to be fair, the latter does include the word library.)

.lib is the traditional extension for static libraries and import libraries on Windows. Every .dll has an accompanying .lib. (Msys2 uses their own extensions, namely .a for static libraries and .dll.a for import libraries.)
