I remember coming across the "Programmers Playground" before i even knew
about the Euphoria programming language. I always remembered it but this is
the first time ive seen it since.

I dont know why they used the name "EUPHORIA" for their GUI builder but i
dont think it matters. The Euphoria programming language is more popular and
when referering to "Euphoria" most people will think of the programming
language by RDS.
