Why isn't Python an option? You explained the other two, but omitted Python. Just curious.
Ooops. I should have written Lua, not Python.
To be honest, I probably should be using Python.
But I figured it would probably be easier to port the code to Euphoria, since it would have less of a learning curve. I'd already gone through the suffering of porting the code to C, and didn't want to learn a new language.
Plus, the code needs to run reasonably fast. It's a voice synthesis program, and even in C was pretty slow. Euphoria gives the option to fall back to a compiled version. I figured that if Python turned out to be too slow, I'd pretty much be stuck, and have to port the program yet again.

I'am just curious why not Pascal? Or did you here about http://nim-lang.org/ (i mention this becouse it has some similaritys to Python and Pascal)
(btw i do not like this "Whitespace is significant in Python source code" if prefer "begin" and "end" like in Pascal (or Euphoria))
