I'm now contemplating another application with Eu however my research shows me that I really need multi-threading and 64bit. I don't want to go to another language but I may be forced to based on those requirements. What investment would be needed to get Eu to 64bit and multi-threading?
64-bit is coming (v4.1). There is a mostly working [Linux] implementation in a branch in svn. I say mostly working, because there are still some issues that need to be worked out with respect to 32 vs 64 bits in areas such as hashing and bitwise operations (mainly). Let me know if you're interested in playing with it. We may be able to build a Windows 64-bit version using mingw (this has been suggested, but not tried) or MSVC to build. Watcom is 32-bit only.
Multi-threading is a different issue, and not very likely to happen any time soon. This is something that may be more easily worked around than the 64-bit issue, however. Why do you need multi-threading?
