I understand. And thanks. But some people have been pushing *nix and slamming windows, in what might be considered an attempt to get Eu off windows platforms entirely, or at least divert all dev resources to only *nix ports.
I don't see that happening. Most of my time is spent on Linux, but I still do Windows stuff. And I know that most people run euphoria on Windows.
I have also suggested Eu be ported to the smaller processor base (ARM, AVR, Propellor, etc), i just don't see my words as saying "only if *nix is also running on the platform", or "only if it's a 32bit cpu", or "only if it is in the most expensive devices". I am happy to see Eu expanding, and improving, but unlike some posts in this thread, i am not vehemently pushing my favorite *nix-only device above all others. Seriously, i get slammed for even mentioning another cpu??
There's always someone around who will have a beef with something that anyone says. Especially if you lead with attacks on something else. I don't think anyone is against additional ports, but that's a lot harder if the target doesn't include an OS that we already support or that is at least very similar to one that we do.
