I believe that to be effective and successful, most languages need to figure out their identity. Development should be focused on making sure it continues to solve the problems it's uniquely positioned to solve well.

I still think the attractiveness of Euphoria is that it's lean, fast, and the executables are small. Programs are easy to distribute as standalone applications. It doesn't require an external runtime to be installed. It's easy to use native libraries. Startup time is probably also a key feature.

These are unusual characteristics for a scripting language, and there aren't many contenders for this niche.
