I wasn't on the development team back then but the idea of Eu not containing strings is rather weird. How many programs in The Archive do not contain strings? Probably zero.
It was wierd by today's standards, but people kept saying Eu is about atoms and sequences, not strings. The same fights existed over my strtok lib back then. Advancing Eu has not been easy, and stopped being fun years ago.
Written in the way back of time, here is the most diplomatic discussion of strings vs sequences ever written in all of Eu: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/49769.wc . As you can imagine, it also got very intense and aggressively personal at times. Some people just could not see that sequences could be used in different ways, just like clothes can, plants can, etc..
