I've never timed it. It will vary from operation to operation, and how
efficient you code things. In either language, when you start working wit=
h
game-type operations, you end up making calls directly to the Win32 API.

If VB seems a better choice, use VB. It depends on what you are trying to
do.

There are a number of books available on the topic. You should really be
looking at C/C++ though, since you can access a wider variety of tools wi=

it.

This is on a lot of people's wish list.

That's assuming that Robert writes a Win32 frontend to Euphoria - somethi=

I'm betting against in the near future.

This is a continuing debate.

If that's how you choose to define 'flexible'.

In that case, Euphoria is definitely *not* for you.

Why? Euphoria is a niche language, more appropriate for some tasks, and l=
ess
so for others. I don't think there's a 'perfect' language out there.
