no active developer currently runs a Windoze build system, so no one can issue a 4.1.0 release (or even another beta) for that platform. (Even though I'd like to, I've been holding off from declaring Windoze a lower tier platform.)
One must not forget that the programming world is based today on 4 operating systems, viz.
Windows, Linux, Mac and Android, and if any programming language drops any of these platforms, it is committing a suicide.
Agreed in full.
Well,then Euphoria is dead because Windows can no longer be supported and MAC and Android support has never really gained the status of being "supported".
But wait.... Euphoria is alive and well on Linux. Irv's EuGTK and Pete Eberlein's EuGTK Euphoria editor are rock solid examples of Euphoria's ease of use and power on LINUX.
Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and call a spade a spade - drop Windows and play to Euphoria's strong suit. Do what it takes to issue a current LINUX release - shuttle all the unworkable 4.1 features to a 4.2 road map. Efforts to support Windows and cross-platform GUI's have retarded Euphoria's development for six (6) years.
