I would question why any desktop computer manufacturers were still even shipping non-64-bit capable hardware in 2010. Apple Macintoshes were 64 bit Intel across the board in 2006, or 11 years ago. People like to accuse Apple of being constantly behind the curve on hardware compared to other PC

Rakudo itself probably does compile on Windows 32-bit (or least it did last time I tried it). But here is no Rakudo Star 32 bit MSI due to problems with modules not working -- I think linenoise failed to compile last time I tried it (and I believe it only works under GCC not MSVC on 64 bit). I'm
