Why did Ruby, Java, Javascript, PHP and python become as popular as they did so quickly?
One thing that these have is some degree of Object-Oriented functionality, but I'm not saying that OO is absolutely required for popularity.
Currently, OO features are not likely to be introduced into Euphoria until version 5. This will cause a massive rethink and internal redesign of the underlying architecture so it will not be rushed into. We do not want v4 code to be made obsolete by introducing OO so we will do it gently and will great care.
Once v4.0 is released, v4.1 will mainly be bug fixes, v4.2 will be focusing on performance, v4.3 more bug fixes. Also, v4.1 will probably add support for 64-bit machines.
