We have a problem with classifying a lot of functions.
I believe Matt admitted that this was a real problem with wxEuphoria, but namespaces would solve this.
I guess it also depends on what you mean by "classifying." The docs are broken out by classes mostly, and some special topics (like events), so I think they're generally easy to navigate to figure out what you want to do, if I do say so myself. In a gigantic library like that, there's no way you can hold all of it in your head.
You must realize by now that the wcEuphoria library would be adjuvant to other libraries in a fully function multi-faceted language and just as you and I abhor having to go through 6-6 level of menu to get at the item you are looking to click, so do we in our efforts to give the programmer the facility of access to EVERYTHING with as few a clicks as possible.
Clicks? As in mouse clicks? When programming, one typically has to type. (Only programming language that I can think of that was primarily mouse driven was LEGO Mindstorms. That was one strange language.)
I suspect that remembering that Vinoba seems to use APL will be helpful here. Trying to remember how to input the weirdness of APL's symbols would be a lot harder than using menus. But if you're going with APL, I think you've already given up on readable code.
