I think the points are well taken. AFAIK, other programming languages, such as Python, make no claims to be either easy or simple. Because programming is neither easy nor simple.
This is absolutely correct. Euphoria is easy to use (for programmers). Programming itself inherently difficult.
No Silver Bullet explains that certain aspects of programming contain essential complexity that cannot be avoided.
Anyone with programming experience is going to want to know why Euphoria is 'better' than what he or she is using. We do have some bragging points there. Why not forget the easy/simple claims, and emphasize the real advantages.
Sequences are incredibly powerful and easy to use. I think we need to do a better job of leveraging that in our propaganda.
