I do, extensively!
have written wrappers for betfair sports/games apis for scheduled data updates
however, tasks under v4 do not work when compiled into an .exe under ubuntu jaunty (crash with stack_size exception) but work fine with interpreter
Yes, this is a known issue:

I have feeling that the OS may be doing something with the stack, messing up the stuff that euphoria leaves there. I think the translated task stuff does things it's probably not supposed to be doing. We may need to rewrite the task backend for translated code.
