Well, you might be interested to know that we've been working hard to get the *best language in the world* to work on our target platform, Win64. In fact, the last testsuite I ran has it down to just 2 or three distinct errors, depending on how you count. A year or two ago, we couldn't even run the front end without it segfaulting. This makes GCC a big competitor to Absoft for targetting 64-bit windows, and Kai is the prime mover on that front.
