Why is it important to have an interpreter? Because its to programme on! Euphoria is not only a language, but also it exists in its present form as an 'interpreted language'; rather than one that has to use a compiler stage for it to render its data down to machine level code. In this sense EU is a higher-level language than is Prolog or C. Interpreters are generally easier to work with, and can display results quicker (because of less steps in the overall process)than does a editor-to-compiler language. As to the question about building an interpreter. I am game to help on this, as long as a sane way can be figured out how to port the results over to R3000 MIPS or any of several other RISC environments. What to try? I would do what I can to help.
