See VB, Delphi, probably some others. Searching the web for info on
making a relatively minor mod to win32lib, I found far more rackloads
of vb/delphi/foxpro (just remembered another one) etc *GUNK* than you
obviously think. It really is not nice, but Euphoria is not alone.
I suppose if you code in C you just #include the massive .h header
files and be done with it, without thinking, so that doesn't count.

I suppose the cool thing would be for some kind soul to collect,
disseminate, analyse, wrap, and document all the C .h files and
functions in common use, ideally with a nice Euphoria front end.
Dang, isn't there something called win32lib which does that?

PS: this one, you really should see, I found particularly useful (Yes,
honestly, joking aside, I really did actually find it very useful). It
is for VB, and it begins with the wonderful comment:

PPS: Do you really code all this out your head? Or do you have some
massive include files, at least for the constants? Or do you just not
use constants and instead look them up and hard-code their values?
