1. basic.htm
In basic.htm "13 Reasons Why You Are Going to Write Your Next Program in
Euphoria!", of the 13 reasons, 4 of them refer to QBasic.
Does anyone still write programs in QBasic in 2003? Maybe instead of
QBasic it should be Visual Basic. But I heard a rumor that even VB is
starting to get out of date.

I can think of at least 2 more reasons concerning BASIC. 
But "basic.htm" isn't included in Eu 2.4 any more, so obviously Rob
didn't regard it as important any more.
Concerning the other languages that are mentioned here, I can't say
anything, because I don't know them. And I don't have a need to learn to
know any other language at the moment.
