1. Euphoria optimization
I haven't seen the source code of Euphoria, but I may have found a way
to optimize it a little (if the optimization doesn't yet exist).
I (and I think a lot of programmers) use empty sequences quite
frequently. Isn't there a way of optimizing those cases. I guess (I
don't really know) that in the current version of Euphoria, each literal
{} and "" creates a new sequence in memory. Couldn't you create an empty
sequence at the beginning, and each time you find a "" or a {} (which
might have whitespace in between), you just refer to that empty
sequence? I don't know if this would have a big impact on speed, or
memory usage, or if it already exists, but every optimization might
help.

Yes. That optimization has been implemented already.
