I think that you are somewhat like a stupid person, but worse.

*Puts up "Don't Feed the Troll" sign*
So how do you think we will respond?
1. C is over 20 years old, and is one of the most widely used
programming languages out there. Almost every non-trivial language
*copies* C to some extent, because that is what programmers are
familiar with. C has a printf function. Euphoria has a printf
function. That makes sense, because a programmer familiar with C is
not going to want to learn a new functional system, with new control
codes, just to be able to print formatted output to the screen. Java
uses this same system for formatted output.
2. Euphoria has far less in common with C than most other languages.
Java is much closer to C - it has much more rigid typing, and very
similar syntax. Many things are trivial in Euphoria that are very
difficult in C - dynamic sequences for one. Some things are trivial in
C and somewhat difficult in Euphoria - interfacing with DLL's for one.
3. You are trolling. There are no reasons to come to a forum for
euphoria for the first time, and just insult the language. If you have
a point, state it. If you are learning the language and having
troubles, ask questions on this forum and we will answer you. If you
only want to be irritating, go away.

Just a copy of a troll... only worse.

Over here in good ole blighty we have a truely hateful chap by the
name of Max Clifford, famous for ridiculous stories about cruelty to
hamsters, london buses on the far side of the moon, aliens, lettuces,
and of course royal indiscretions, a publicity agent to the b-stars of
the lowest order; calling him scum gives scum a bad name; however he
did once utter something that we may not all like, but is inescapably
true: there is no such thing as bad publicity.

PS Rob, his number is +440783569375 (not really
PPS Suggestions for headlines welcome!

Sounds like he is using some software I wrote back in 1988 called
"Shocking Headlines In Tablolids"
Its purpose was to generate random news headlines, such as:
Psychic Carrot reveals Secret of Eternal Youth.
Bermuda Triangle Mysteriously Disappears!
PROOF! Chimps Secretly Control All Major World Powers.
Cannibal Prowls Soviet Space Station.
Maimed for life, Double-amputee frog sues French restaurant.
Come to think of it, ALL the major tabloids seem to be using my
program (first described in that esteemed computer journal,
Micro Cornucopia, issue #42, p.75. Look it up.)
Mebbe I can sue and get rich?
