Re: Future direction and purpose of Euphoria?

BTW, take my criticism with a grain of salt. I have a lot of faith in the core Euphoria developers.
Because of the way some portions of the code are written, though, makes it difficult to port or maintain on other platforms such as OS X and ARM. We end up with some #ifdef hacks in the code to make things work differently on different platforms when some areas (but not all) should be refactored instead. I think there should probably be very few areas of the code that are truly platform-dependent.
However, the job was too big for me. I may tackle it again in the future. Plus I'm really quite an amateur still, and I'm also afraid of introducing changes or "cleanup" which will work on my platform but will horribly break others.
Regardless, support for both Linux and Windows are very strong, I don't believe that support will decrease at all on either platform.
