Java does have the advantage of being able to run in most web browsers on
most platforms without any modification. And as much as I like Euphoria,
there are many languages out there that are, in some cases, fundamentally
superior. I have yet to see a language that beats Java's portability. For
pure speed, Assembly or C are certainly superior etc. Of course, for many
tasks, Euphoria rules. Anyway, I think euphoria applets would be a good
idea, but I'm not really interested in developing a plugin for every
browser on every platform... so I'd say translate them to Java.
