Concerning Euphoria and OOP:
I have a Java background and think OOP can be cool if used where designing things OOP-style just makes sense ("a dog has a fur colour and knows how to bark" and so on). But I felt that sometimes OOP makes things more complicated than they ought to be, so I went looking for an alternative. ........
I think OOP in Euphoria would be okay if it were done the "Euphoria way". I'd hate to see just another Java / C plus plus / Python clone.
I read this interesting article and a lot of comments about OOP. I fully agree with the author Steve in his statement that OOP is really not worth all the trouble. It is interesting to note that most of the comments are in agreement with the author's statement on OOP.

The current developers of euphoria would find it interesting.
