My message will sink in when you re-read it.
I don't think you want people to read too carefully. What sinks in to me is that you are talking about things you don't really understand. It's fine to point this out and wonder about its applicability to euphoria. But when you start talking about how trivial it would be to make this great thing, you just make yourself look foolish and ignorant.
I saw a big addition to Euphoria at very little cost in effort and brought it to everybody's attention.
Having been a project leader, I can well understand the limitations of understanding of the larger picture on the part of C language or assembly language programmers.
You know that most computers are multi-cored, and that parallel processing takes advantage of this. You don't understand the challenges involved in getting parallel processing working in a useful way in euphoria, and possibly you also have a very poor grasp of estimating effort required in building software.
I don't have to be a C language programmer to understand the value of a particular library.
But it would sure help when talking about how well or how easy a C library would be to integrate with C code! I know, I know, you're not a details guy. That's OK. But try to understand that the details are a lot more complicated than you think they are. And this silver bullet might not be what you think it is.
