It's not just Euphoria that's dying. Interest in any kind of programming is dying, along with interest in many other things.
Ask any school teacher, chances are they'll tell you that the majority of their students display no curiosity whatsoever, no interest in how things work, and especially no interest in having to actually do something. Why bother, when "there's an app for that"?
I rode the train across Canada a couple of years ago to see the scenery. There were several kids/teens aboard, and I'm pretty sure none of them ever looked out a window - they spent the entire trip either texting or playing Angry Birds on their ipads.
I agree with this statement. There is a strong lack of curiosity among young people. Kids just bury their noses in their mobile devices, and could care less about the outside world. I've always been interested in computers and electronics, when I found Euphoria, it was really cool. It was a powerful programming language and it was easy. I would really like to see Euphoria continue on, I'm using the beta right now, I really hope a new version with struct support will come out soon. I would help out more with development, if I had more practice with programming, programming languages.
