Why do things for free? Becasue we have to. It's in our blood. Most software must be given away because it's too much work to sell it. Almost all catalogs must be given away because there's no point in hoarding them. Besides, it's fun. Unfortunatly, it may not be profitable.
Providing these services takes a lot of time and money. If you find them valuable, please consider contributing some money so that we may continue to give things away.
The Catalog of Free Compilers and Interpreters needs a new maintainer. Idiom Consulting cannot afford to update the catalog more than once every six months but there are significant changes every day. Monthly updates are needed.
