Vote went the wrong way for me, but that's how it is I guess.
In fact, I didn't/don't care too much about 32bit or 64bit, or even how often the compiler is upgraded. If Watcom is to be removed, can we at least hope that a replacement will be provided that is just as easy to use?
I have no special interest in C - I want to do my work in Euphoria. Compiling to EXE is very useful for distribution, and for a bit of speed. What I found very helpful was having it all packaged up - no need to look for the compiler; or sort out the right version; or find all its components and libraries, or worry about where to install it. Nice simple download, and just sort out the paths in the installer - and that's it.
Can we hope someone will make the replacement compiler just as easy to get on with?
