Ryan, i laud your ideas, but sadly, some have been proposed before, and rejected.
If you were to write an article extolling the benefits of Eu vs any other language, what is there to talk about except sequences and binding? Tossing "speed" into the bragging is a red herring, it doesn't matter how fast a language is if it doesn't have the features one needs..
I would consider speed in itself to be a worthwhile "feature" since faster programs are more generally useful. Graphical applications (isn't everything graphical these days?) do require speed. Of course, Euphoria is only speedy in comparison to other slower languages (implementations). Personally, I am just sick of having to laboriously code ASM routines for my graphics library.
Regarding votes and values, that's all in the eye of the beholder, those people needing those functions. I still have no use for hashes or maps or regex..
If no-one is willing to jump to this idea I am willing to offer part of my webspace to implement Ryan's idea
and am willing to set up a dedicated server as soon as I can come up with the money to do so.
I implore Eumario to remember the help I gave him back in 2003/2004 and refund that to me
so I will be able to set up that server
