First of all, Phix was, is and will be a clone of the EUPHORIA programming language, nothing more.
Just a clone. Brilliant, outstanding, superb but a clone.
A clone of Euphoria, nothing more?
Sorry, I disagree.
Yeah I'm with irv on this one. I don't think "clone" is the right word.
I think of RDS Euphoria as the reference implementation of a de facto specification for the "Euphoria language" in general.
I'm not aware of Rob ever publishing a distinct "specification document" for the language but what's in the reference manual is pretty close.
Phix and OpenEuphoria are then dialects of that original language specification: two now-different languages related by a common ancestor.
There have been a variety of other dialects as well, like Matt's OOEU or Karl's Bach.
