At least a lot of them you've never heard of made it on the list.
QBasic was no where to be found.

Well, I would assume that it is lumped under the 5th in the list, (Visual)
Basic. I think that puts most dialects of BASIC under one banner.
See, VB.NET is listed separately further down the list.

I only just learned of Euphoria. Can't really remember how, though ...
I think it came up in a search engine while looking for free programming
languages that would work with Windows. I figured I had nothing to lose
- it couldn't be worse than trying to fiddle with C - and downloaded it
to give it a go. A couple weeks of cursing {look through the archives
and imagine all the editing I did to make them sound as pleasant as they
do} later, I think I have the hang of it, and I can already tell with my
habit of writing programs that play with data like crazy, Euphoria's
going to make me cream!

Well, welcome!
Some people come here and are far more confused about programming in general or
working at the command prompt. They say a few things about how Euphoria is not
for them and just leave, when really almost *any* programming language wouldn't
be for them.

Umm. I chose to quietly ignore it.

I couldn't ignore it, that comment was clearly over the top.

What do they want? Programs that write themselves? Programming's an
art as much as science, and a lot of people I guess don't associate
writing a bunch of silly words in some obscure sequence with painting
with oils on canvas. But they really are an awful lot alike. They both
are trained skills, and yet, without the talent, you can do neither.

I don't want to drag this thread out, but it does make me think about what is
appropriate and what is not.
I might have been less inclined to ignore it if someone had said "Euphoria gives
me a h***-on". Double standard I guess. But C Bouzy is right that there are
minors on this board and you have to tone your language appropriately.
There are other ways of expressing excitement than using that metaphor.
I could go on more about free speech and what that means and when certain types
of free speech are inappropriate (or at least that they are inappropriate in
certain venues) but I won't.
Anyway, sorry to drag this out, hopefully the thread dies...

Oh please? I have a 7 year old daughter and she often read these threads
because she is interested in learning how to code. I encourage her to read
the threads because I expect the comments at this forum to remain PG.
I do not expect someone who is part of a programming community to use the
term "cream" in a sexual manner to express their excitement. If this was
an adult chat, then it would not matter, but as I stated before there are
minors who visit this forum.

I, too, chose to ignore said comment. But now I gotta pipe up.
I'm with Bouzy on this one.
Especially since Lynn is apparently some transgender freak who is
"really big and really ugly" (her words, not mine). Now, if she was a
hottie like Jennifer Aniston, I could be more tolerant.

O.K. I get your point.
I read it and went on without thinking about it. Until other people pointed it
out.
It's like Janet Jackson at the Super Bowl. I saw it as it happened and thought
nothing about it. I asummed she had on some sort of body stocking or something.
From the small percentage it took up of the entire screen it was hard to tell.
I wasn't until Entertainment Tonight repeatedly showed close-ups of the whole
sordid affair that I became aware.
This will be last post on this subject.
