Hi euphoric,
You're welcome.
The other point of my post is that Euphoria 4 is great for building high-speed web application backends which do a lot of internal computation, and yet provide fast response times.
I used Xitami's LRWP in my application, but the same conceptual approach could be used for FCGI or SCGI, both of which are supported by popular web open-source servers such as Apache and nginx, as well as by IIS (SCGI support for IIS 6 is through an open-source component).
This could be a useful niche for Euphoria, especially on systems where you don't want to (or cannot) install large frameworks such as Java or .NET. I can imagine xCGI + Euphoria compiled apps running on hardware such as the Raspberry Pi, doing very productive things indeed.
And if I didn't mention it earlier, I should also say that the Euphoria 4 documentation is first rate! Being a developer myself, I know how much work goes into maintaining great documentation. Having used many, many open source packages, I can truly say that the Eu 3 and Eu 4 documentation is head-and-shoulders above the pack, with perhaps few other projects (with much, much more resources) doing better.
One other plus I've observed is that the Euphoria community is generally very approachable, helpful and respectful. I find it amazing that folks like Derek and Matt spend so much time patiently helping newbies and veterans alike in this forum, in addition to investing time improving Euphoria.
