If Euphoria is "dying" then I need a replacement language! What language is going to be simpler, more powerful, and faster than Euphoria? Said language must work on Linux.

(Rapid)Euphoria http://rapideuphoria.com/ :)
p.s. lua 5.1 was released on 21 Feb 2006 and no one is saying that she is dying, despite the fact that yesterday http://www.lua.org/wshop14.html#Ierusalimschy announced 5.3
p.p.s Gnome -> http://mate-desktop.org/ KDE -> https://www.trinitydesktop.org/
p.p.s http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/ wxLua can be built against wxWidgets 2.8.x, 2.9.x and Lua versions 5.1, 5.2, and LuaJIT (5.1 based)

I have respect for Lua. It has been mentioned (even years ago) as the language Euphoria users would use if Euphoria did not exist. I would help if a large oil company sponsored us they way Lua is sponsored; Lua is used by Petrobas internally and is therefore not in a rush to die. Euphoria has the edge on speed, the flexibility of C compiling, and simplicity. Certainly we could learn a few things from Lua.
Thanks for reminding me about Lua.

You've misunderstood me, I'm that sorry about the state of the Eu 3.1.1, and the trouble is that not happened for her customer industrial operators.
this (Rapid)Euphoria http://rapideuphoria.com/ :) was my answer to your question

Google's Go is interesting. I find it very Euphorian in concept. It runs on Windows, OS X, and Linux.
I'm also following Apple's Swift language, although that seems to have gotten pretty complex between the original announcement in June and the recent 1.0 release. For now, Swift is OS X only.

I am obviously "trolling" here. But it doesn't hurt to keep track of what the rest of the world is doing.
Notice that the alternatives to Euphoria are heavily funded by large commercial entities.
Google's Go is interesting.
Downloading 42MB right now. The size of Go is an immediate minus. I hope to learn something by playing with it.
I'm also following Apple's Swift language, ...
Looks like Apple's privatized a C language. Not likely to go to Linux; so I can't test it.
so far... no serious alternative to Euphoria ...

I don't want to promote other languages here, except for comparison purposes and potential feature "stealing".
But you can play with Go without downloading anything; it has an interactive online playground. If you are interested in it, though, take the Go Tour and compare to Euphoria's features. It's probably most comparable to Euphoria's translator than to its interpreter.
Another interesting language is Julia.
I wonder if we could do an interactive Euphoria playground... I don't know much web programming though. It would be a good stopgap replacement for a real REPL.

_tom: Can we add open source to the list of requirements? Although so far no one has posted a language that even meets the requirements you asked for.

Friendly, flexible, fast... is my attempt a Euphoria "marketing buzz." I put open source under the umbrella of friendly. It almost goes without saying that a language must be open source.
There is no substitute for Euphoria!
