Okay, I'll enter this debate.  True, type checking would be tighter, but
that's one of the major advantages to Euphoria.  The ability to have
sequences of multiple, dynamic "types"

However, I would love to see the encapsulation available with a
"structure". (The dot syntax) But, I would not want to limit, for example,
the ability to add components to the "structure" on the fly. That is why I
like Euphoria!!!

By the way, I am a new kid on the block. A Visual Basic nut. I still really
only use Euphoria for a smart (advanced) DOS scripting language. But, I am
excited about it's advancements.
