I took BASIC (25yrs ago), Intro JAVA and Intro C as well as exposure to PHP/Javascript/Perl in college but had never programmed anything professionally until about 1.5 yrs ago - when I needed to build a program to help one of our customers in a very short period of time. It needed to interact with our products's API and Windows API. I turned to Euphoria and as was able to get the first working version done in a few days and over a couple months had the complete product done. That program has been in production for many months now, working perfectly running as a windows service with no crashes etc. In addition I created a handful of simple utilities that have been useful as well. That is the power of Eu. I would never have been successful using one of the "other" langauges. Eu was elegant, simple and just worked.
IMHO it is a fantastic language and I for one am willing to pay for it. I wish I was a strong enough developer to help with the product, but am willing to offer what I can financial or otherwise.
I'm now contemplating another application with Eu however my research shows me that I really need multi-threading and 64bit. I don't want to go to another language but I may be forced to based on those requirements. What investment would be needed to get Eu to 64bit and multi-threading?
