OpenEuphoria

Welcome to OpenEuphoria

Euphoria is a powerful but easy-to-learn programming language. It has a simple syntax and structure with consistent rules, and is also easy to read. You can quickly, and with little effort, develop applications, big and small, for ...

• Windows
• Unix variants (Linux, FreeBSD, ...)
• OS X

Euphoria was first released as shareware way back in 1993. Nowadays, it is being developed as an open source project that is community driven and maintained. The language has evolved into a sophisticated tool for programmers.

Euphoria primarily operates as an interpreter rather than a complier, but surprisingly to many, it is one of the fastest interpreted languages around. Euphoria provides subscript checking, uninitialized variable checking, garbage collection, and numerous other run-time checks, and is still extremely fast.

Euphoria is a general purpose programming language with a large library base making it usable for a variety of tasks. Its use of simple English words rather than punctuation enables you to quickly read the source code and understand it.

    puts(CONSOLE, "\n") 
    if sequence(answer) and length(answer) > 0 then 
        return answer[1..$-1] -- trim the trailing end-of-line character 
    else 
        return ""
