I saw in the Archive several extensions, which injected OOP to Euphoria. However, the creators of Euphoria, apparently, are the enemies of this paradigm.
Yes! I fight to the death against OOP. No, actually, this isn't true. In fact, there are vague plans to add OOP programming paradigms to euphoria. This would be a pretty massive undertaking, and would certainly be a new major version (e.g., eu5).
So I'm not sure OOP appears in the fifth version. So, what about Prototype-Based Programming? AFAIK, it is easier to implement, easier to grasp, easier to code.
In fact, prototype based programming is just one way to implement OOP. There are no firm plans on how OOP could be introduced into euphoria. There have been discussions, and they generally turn very contentious between OOP supporters and detractors and between proponents of different OOP implementation ideas.
I'd be interested to hear if you have an idea about how to put prototype based OOP into euphoria.
