10 Reasons Why You're Going To Cuss At Euphoria!
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
- Because you repeatedly read that Euphoria was fast,
so you spent 3 years of your life programming a
3D game, wich turned out to run at -20 frames per
second.
- Because you read that you can call C routines,
so you bought Euphoria, only to find out
later that you have to buy a C compiler too
to find out what the predifined types are.
- Because you have being a loyal customer for 8 years,
and still weren't able to write a program that
doesn't run 5 times slower than 'C'.
- Because 'C' gave you a rope to hang yourself with,
but Euphoria also gave you the Hierarchical tree
to tie it to.
- Because Euphoria does more run-time checks on
your code than it does optimizations.
- Because you read Euphoria's claims of being more
portable than C, and are now being sued by
Sony Interactive because you didn't produce
that Playstation game you planned to port from DOS.
- Because your company's stocks plummeted
right after you switched to Euphoria,
because it took you 7 years to publish that
3D modeling tool for Linux, since you had to write
your own 3D API because Euphoria doesn't support
any natively.
- Because you died of old age when you started
programming that 3D API for Euphoria when
you were 12, because it took 68 years before
a single frame was drawn.
- Because you read somewhere that Euphoria was
used to create high-speed DOS games, little
did you know that they were mode 13h programs
containing 90% assembly, when you hired 120
Euphoria programmers for your software house.
- Because Daikatana was written in Euphoria,
no matter what John Romero says ;)
Hehe...
I'm just kidding, if I didn't like Euphoria and didn't
believe in it I wouldn't be here.
I'd be down at microsoft.com trying to get Windows to
become something descent ;)
