Performance compared to what? Euphoria is faster than nearly all other interpreted languages (last time I checked). The Translator still needs lots of optimization work to be done, but it is still fairly young.
I'd like to see some benchmarks (even though benchmarks are mostly worthless anyway). Well, I migth benchmark Lua vs. Euphoria myself some day.
By indirection I assume you mean address dereferencing. Double indirection makes resizing sequences fast and safe. If single indirection was used, each time a sequence was resized, all current references to that sequence would also have to be updated.
Well, if a sequence is resized, the sequence changes so copy-on-write ensures that there is only one reference to the new sequence anyway.
Can you give an example of this assertion?
I was not precise. See my above post.
