I tend to agree. That $ merely saves a little typing, "goto" would be serious 
improvement to program flow.

This phrase above is my translation of

If you need some feature in October,

The next EU weapon is just old good EU ;)

I'd just copy/paste something billion times,
then correct code, maybe, I do not know,
I have no problem with length(s), I just use
that clear construct - s[length(s)].

These all examples show what a powerful and
flexible language EU is. 
Rob uses C to implement almost the same thing,
and it is not a trivial job, he says.

Really you have just 1 or 2 main sequences in your program.
For example, ed.ex editor.
So, you can enter these types and then 
use A_  or  B_  anywhere you want instead of, say,
length(First_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_1)
and
length(Second_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_2).

But you could not use $-feature in the same manner,
there is no the separate $-value at all.

Sorry, but this sounds somewhat theoretical to me. At least regarding to
my personal coding style, this will be rather unlikely. If a sequence in
my program is so important, that I feel necessary to give it a name
such as 'First_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_1', then I
probably will name the variable that holds its length
'Length_Of_First_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_1'
rather than just 'A_'.
Or, the other way round, if the variable 'A_' holds the length of the
sequence, then the sequence itself will prbably have a name such as 'A'
or 'sA'.

Anyway, I think your trick can be useful when there are only a few
sequences in the program, that often change their lengths, and the
lenths are often needed by the program. So it's not necessary always to
write
   A_ = length(First_Very_Long_But_Very_Clear_Name_of_Main_Sequence_1)

But if there are say 20 sequences, I think adding 20 types would add
considerable overhad to the program.

Yes, it will only work for subscripting and slicing, but for these
purposes it will be more elegant than anything currently available in Eu
2.4, IMHO.

Please don't get me wrong: I am not against the EU types.
But using a separate type for *each* sequence adds a lot of overhead, is
rather unusual, and also implies some risk for introducing bugs, when
another user tries to change the code, and isn't aware of this special
construction.

I've been following this for some time and I wanted to share some thoughts...

What is RDS' customer base for 2.5?  I mean, who are the people paying
money for a license?

*Hobbyists with $80 to spend who want to make modifications run at full
speed and don't care if they can redistribute them.

*Hobbyists who want to bind or shroud their code.

*Business programmers who need to make modifications run at full speed and
can convince their customers to pay for the extra license.

*Business programmers who need to bind or shroud their code.

*Translator customers from the above categories who want to get rid of the
delay message.


Am I missing any?  I don't belong to any of these groups.

You can take this with a grain of salt because I have never registered
Euphoria.  Until Derek's contest I had never written more than 50 lines
or so of code with Euphoria.  My interest is mostly aesthetic.

I saw myself as more of a potential customer pre-2.5.  Now, except for my
features wishlist (which everyone seems to have), I get everything for
free with the PD version.  I could even write my own back-end or translate
Euphoria to yet another language or whatever.  I have no reason now to send
any money to RDS.

I think that RDS could make more money if they wrote a couple of books -- a
basic computer science text using Euphoria, and an intermediate/advanced
book on writing and implementing an interpreter using Euphoria as the case
study.

I would buy that book.

On Euphoria manual, [type ... end type] functions serve just 
for testing if the single parameter is of needed value.
But really you can use these functions for any an additional 
job as procedures on each assignment to typed variable too.
Maybe, this feature is not a 'side effect' in usual sense,
but it is not used in the official RDS programs, as far as I know,
is not described in the official RDS documentation and it seems
to be discovered by one of this list members. 
I myself know about this feature from the list and use it in
some my programs. This side effect is very useful, I think.

Really, why not use this thing if it does work well?

integer A
type sequense_with_length(sequence a)
  A=length(a)
    return 1
end type

There is no any user-defined tests of sequence a,
but this is the Euphoria [type...end type] construct,
which will prepare the new length(N) for you on any
new assignment to sequense_with_length N.

Is it a side effect or is it a very useful EU feature -
this is an issue of terms, I think.

Sure, It Is Not a Bug!

Now that we know that the new Euphoria interpretor will consist of a front end
and a back end, and more importantly, it will be mainly C. Euphoria will already
be one step closer to thing like thread and multiuser support.

After the new Euphoria 2.5 is released. I think we are going to see some really
good changes and possibilities In the later versions to come.

Keep up the good work RDS. Thnxs for making easy programing possible.

I'm getting closer. I don't have a specific date in mind.
This project keeps getting more and more complicated. It takes
time to fully test all components on all platforms. 
Hopefully in a month or so I'll be very close, but I think it's
better for me to test things well and handle a small number of
bug reports, than put out something quick and sloppy and get flooded
with reports.

The front-end (scanning/parsing) is now written in Euphoria. 
It's translated by EtoC to C, compiled, and linked with the 
hand-coded back-end. The back-end is in carefully hand-coded C as before 
for full speed. So theoretically the front-end (only) is a bit
slower. But you won't notice it unless you have a very old machine,
and a very large program, and you watch the start-up time carefully.

The fact that it's now written in Euphoria has no effect on 
compatibility with C compilers. It outputs the same C code
as before (except for a few bug fixes and performance improvements).
It takes slightly longer to run (an extra few seconds), 
but the subsequent C compiles still take a lot longer than the 
translation step.

* It's the same front-end as the open source Eu in Eu 
  interpreter uses (avoids dual maintenance).

* The old C-coded front-end had lots of very ugly, complicated
  code to do with allocating/reallocating numerous data structures.
  The new front eliminates all that by using append() etc.

Because it MIGHT allow some of us to make improvements in the human-
written side, for adding things like case, goto, repeat-until, inline, string 
execution, namespacing, local includes (Bach's import), and threading (or 
maybe something else like Al Getz's windows server), associated lists (like 
Jiri's, or the hash() in Bach), or just whatever other function Eu lacks that
you
need! If a change i make is written in Eu, and a change you make is written 
in Eu, merging the changes is much easier. The output code is still 
compatable with the execution unit.

Of course. That is a prime reason I use Euphoria and likely 
why many users do. Keep on making out lives easier/better with Euphoria!
I assume the front-end will now be easier to maintain and improve,
which far out weighs the insignificant slower time.
