- What is the source of this book?
- OE thinking is truly about thinking in just atom and sequence
- types are there as a sanity check, after a program runs people add without typecheck to get the program to run a bit faster
- Phix has a string datatype, which is a sequence with storage optimized for utf8 characters -- but is a sequence otherwise
- Euphoria types should not be confused with types found in conventional languages
- Euphoria atom|sequence eliminates a lot of the pain associated with conventional datatypes
