Euphoria's future?

I saw a recent message saying "Euphoria is Dying!" Hope it's untrue - I love Euphoria. But Eu is full of prickly puzzles (if you're a slow learner like me!). These puzzles seem invisible to more experienced folk! The future of Euphoria might depend on how many learners feel inadequate and discouraged in the first few weeks of trying! Sounds daft, but I'm quite serious.
My experience suggests that a 'guru' needs plenty of feedback from his class. Without that, he can't see the problems! That isn't easy with lessons on the Internet. Let's be fair, I wouldn't have got as far as I have without lots of good tutorial stuff. I'm grateful! IT IS GOOD, but could it be better?
Don't ask me how - I don't know: but could there be a better "ladder" (perhaps with one single source, and one recommended version) for users who need to master a new topic? Could it, in some clever way, be shaped significantly by feedback from struggling learners? Could it make Euphoria MORE WIDELY LOVED AND USED? It would need inspired work by lots of people, I'm sure. But even after I've been able to produce one or two quite encouraging programs, I can still find it difficult to locate the right advice, in a format I can understand, when I need it. It's there all right, but ...
Does anyone else feel this way? Phil
