1. Euphoria remote debugger

Are there any plans to enable remote debugging of Euphoria apps? I'd love to be able to have a standalone debugger connect to a running instance of Euphoria.

I think so. The current 4.1 code base has the ability to write a custom debugger. There are currently two ways to do it. You can include the debugger directly into your program or specify a dll/so/dynlib for the interpreter to link and use as the debugger. The dll could be specified on the command line or in an eu.cfg file.
With that setup, I think that you could build an external app that could use some sort of RPC or whatever to communicate with the process being debugged. I think such a framework would be a great thing to have, and ultimately, I'd like to have a generic API / setup for this as a base part of euphoria. I doubt this will happen for 4.1, unless someone steps up and helps with it (hint, hint!).
