OpenEuphoria

Then you are saying there will be no changes to OE, unless those changes can be compiled also. Which means anyone hacking the interpreter to add a feature must also be fluent in C, in order to prove the feature can be translated. That lets out the vast majority of people who are 1) not fluent in C, and 2) have a Euphoria app to create instead of learning C. After all, if they can write it in C, they'd write it in C and donate it to the C "community", altho chances are, it's already in C or some other language.
