1. Thanks, Rob Craig
I've been studying Euphoria for about four weeks, now, after some years
programming in dBase, Clipper, Foxpro, APL,
etc.. Sometimes I see posts here complaining about Euphoria's
Slooooowwwneeeesssss. I can't seem to keep my jaw from
dropping open, when I see that.
I just wrote a program which reads a file of 5,346 records, computes three
different moving avaerages of several fields
(objects) in the data, through the entire file, loads a user-selected number of
records into a two-dimensional array,
and then does futher calculations on the data, in that array.
Total elapsed time: 0.11 seconds!!! 11/100ths of a second!!! (I'm not even
using EDS). I know many Foxpro and Clipper
programmers who would kill for processing times like that.
Perhaps I'm a bit slow, and no doubt, I've still got a lot to learn, but I've
never before experienced a language in
which I could become proficient in a few weeks.
So, Thanks, Robert Craig, for Euphoria. Well named.
Regards
Jim Duffy
