OOP languages achieve the benefits of Euphoria, at the cost of added complexity and some extra coding. 

ha! Well said. X)

I wonder if Euphoria could use a dot instead of colon for namespace referencing. Then we could call it "object* referencing" and package it as OOP-lite.

datetime right_now = datetime:now()

becomes

datetime right_now = datetime.now()

*Would obviously need to differentiate between the built-in object variable.
