I'm a bit surprised that Red still seems stuck at 32 bits, like it was last time I saw something about it years ago. What is the roadblock that prevents them from building 64-bit binaries? I guess it must be very hard since otherwise it would have already been fixed.

Love that quote. More poetic than my quip “Hope is not a strategy”.
