1. EUPHORIA 64-Bit Programming?
Is EUPHORIA going to be 64-bit happiness?
Also, what about parallel processing and threading?

Yes, when enough people have 64-bit machines.

Yes, when enough people need it.

LOL. I was thinking along the same lines, Ray.
Co-routines would be perfect for implementing generic iterators.
Threads would be perfect for SO MANY types of applications - Web and Chat
clients, servers of all types, ...
We aren't building these type of apps now in Eu with the advantages of
threads because we can't.
It reminds me of the old joke...
A man was seen spraying vinegar around his garden. His neighbour asked him
why he was doing that. He replied that is keeps away the elephants. To
which his neighbour said "But there are no elephants in this city!". The
man just said "See. It works!"
IN much the same manner, people are not building Eu apps that depend on
threads, so therefore threads aren't needed in Euphoria.

No.

I don't know.
Adding threads to the interpreter would be a major job.
It's not just a matter of adding a few built-in
or library routines. Check my previous posts on this subject
for the details.

Probably whenever someone writes a 64-bit happy C compiler?
Is there any other criteria?
I feel like it

I will answer
When, and if
