1. I am presuming you all are thinking of ditching Watcom, perhaps to be replace by MinGw/GCC.
Not sure what that has to do with this thread.
This statement regarding "D Programming Language's approach" makes it most desirable to make D the main compiler for Euphoria.
D is not C but a different language altogther. I'd be skeptical of this approach unless someone actually takes the time to present a working system using D instead of C as the translator output. A working system that can be tested vigouriously and independantly, I should add.
2. Windows XP can only use 3GB. There are good instructions available from Microsoft on how to use memory above 3MB,
Typo for 3GB?
which may be conveniently used by Euphoria as a shared resource. I don't know if this facility is there in Windows 7 or Windows 8. I doubt it very much.
Perhaps you can save us the trouble by posting a link to these instructions from M$? It's unlikely that it'd be adopted if it doesn't work on later versions of Windoze (let alone a portable approach among different arches, or something that doesn't work on systems with less than 3GB of RAM), but that's up to the dev team.
