Gee, *that* sounds familiar. A couple of months, I started coding Gnuphoria
again, but wrote it in a small subset of Euphoria that I could convert to C.
I guess if we really loved C that much, we wouldn't be coding in Euphoria,
would we?

I've toyed around with compiling to a Euphoria virtual machine. To a large
extent, Robert's already written on. Think of machine_proc and machine_func
as defining some of the core methods, along with sequence manipulation
operations (create, clone, dereference, destroy, append, prepend, insert)
and you've got the core language.
These calls (written in C) would then be glued together by an interpreter,
which would convert Euphoria into C/assembly/Java bytecodes/Euphoria
bytecodes/whatever.

Sounds interesting. My DOS port of Llama got way to complex when I couldn't
decide if I was supposed to parent the Window into a Frame and redirect
graphic calls in the Window to the Frame, combine the Window and Frame into
a single object, or whatever... Hopefully, I'll get it right this time. I'd
really like to see Llama running under EWE.
