Not important but what is the significance of the 'O' in 'OE'?

In 1993 Robert Craig invented the Euphoria programming language. Euphoria was developed as shareware and RDS provided consulting.

Later, the source-code to Euphoria was released. From this code base the OpenEuphoria language extended the original Euphoria with a new standard library and extra features.

As lazy creatures, we sometimes type OE or oE instead of "OpenEuphoria" .

Meanwhile, Pete Lomax invented the Phix language. Phix uses some Euphoria ideas; it "fixes" some Euphoria limitations; but it is a separate language.

The more Euphoria the better means we promote both oE and Phix.
