Before we get too emotional about which compiler to use, remember that Euphoria is an interpreter. Very few programs need to be compiled and none need the bloat that comes with compilation. The vast majority of Euphoria users program to solve problems instead of to sell programs. We the Euphoria interpreter because of it's speed and debugging simplicity. We also program in C and perhaps other languages when it suits us. Rob's intent was to make Euphoria a better language and interpreter than Basic and he succeeded admirably.

Very nicely summarized.
However, there seems to be a feeling that a compiled executable for limited distribution and perhaps sale is very desirable and easy-to-acheive objective.
