Let's just read the docs.

http://www.rapideuphoria.com/relnotes.htm

relnotes.htm says:

Version 1.0, July 1993: Euphoria was first released after 3 years of research and development and 6 months of Beta testing. Many of the ideas behind Euphoria came from Robert Craig's Master's Thesis in Computer Science at the University of Toronto. That thesis was strongly influenced by the work of John Backus on functional programming (FP) languages.

Let's see the very first readme.doc.

It says:

			--------------------- 
			    Euphoria 1.0 
			Public Domain Edition 
			--------------------- 
 
 Welcome to Euphoria! ... End User Programming with Hierarchical Objects 
			  for Robust Interpreted Applications 
 
 Euphoria is a new programming language developed by Rapid Deployment Software, 
 a Canadian software research and development firm. 
 
 Euphoria is primarily a language for =End User's= like yourself. These are 
 people who want to develop software for their own use. They want fast, 
 easy development. They cannot recover the cost of their labor by selling 
 hundreds or thousands of copies of their programs. They do not want to spend 
 countless hours debugging. They do not have the time or inclination to 
 learn a large, complex language intended for professional programmers, but 
 they need something better than BASIC. 

So, let's learn and do not forget our history...
