We are hamstrung by Rob's early decision to follow Basic's example and assume that understanding numbers would be too difficult for his customers. Automatic numerical types will never do what user-specified types could accomplish. Choosing default behavior by voting will just reveal the shortcomings of democracy. Requiring user-specified numeric types should be a priority for Euphoria 5.

I can guarantee you that they won't be, assuming you're talking about a C-like ability to specify the size or signedness of native euphoria variables. This would probably require a nearly full rewrite of most of euphoria.

Can you be more specific why you feel "hamstrung?"
