I do!!!
My computer is super slow. I have a need for speed and euphoria helps
out by not taking an extra one or two seconds. I already wait that
long(maybe even longer) on some win32lib apps. For this time to be
doubled or even tripled would ruin me! routine_id (IMO)provides all the
forward referencing one could need. My computer is still from the early
days and I know that there are several others on this list who also have
old/slow computers. While some have 1-2 Ghz computers, others are not
so lucky. Plus, there are actually applications where these 1-2 seconds
are needed (CGI applications for example). Could you(broadband users)
image going to a site and it being like you were on dialup ?? I know I
can(because I am). I would be forced to find another language if it
euphoria took an extra 1-2 seconds(I am a bit impatient :). I hope to
one day run a website that is completely useing euphoria as its
backbone(which now that I have a job, this will hopefully not take so
long). Before euphoria, there was perl. Before perl, there was
javascript. Before javascript, there was nothing. heh. I don't
remember either though :/
