1. Interpret()
Is Euphoria a compiled or interpreted language? From what I understand it is
compiled... (Sources are compiled before actually run) But if the compiler is
left in memory after the compilation is complete, what prevents us from using
it again? I think that an interpret-function would really kick ass... (as I've
seen it do elsewhere)
sequence str
integer int
str="int=4" int=2
Interpret(str)
? int --> 4
str[length(str)]=6
Interpret(str)
? int --> 6

Euphoria is an interpreted language, a darn quick interpreted language.

I have also asked after this topic, as i need it for a complex
roleplaying game.
He replied that it may be easier to make a routine that can call other
routines than to make a interpreter routine.
Still an interpreter routine would be MOST PERFECT :)

Oh yeah? Mail me some sneak specs/idea!

Oh. Ok, I've seen this work. ML uses that (and treating functions as a
datatype) for almost everything.

Yeah... You can do a lot of kinky things with interpret(). Like for example
self-modifying code...

Euphoria is interpreted, it reads your code and "compile" it into an
internal
format... I said "compile", because it doesn't generate any machine code
as
output, but a code for the Euphoria virtual machine (the interpreter).
I think that some optimization could be get from creating "pre-compiled"
files... but as Euphoria is so fast at pre-compilation it wouldn't make
any big difference (10.000 lines of code per second in a 486, that's
what
RDS says). I think "shroud" and "bind" do something like that, they
change
all your statements into one-byte code.
