But going back to the relationship between Phix and OE. Is Phix essentially OpenEuphoria 5.0
That's basically my view.

or is the divergence total and permanent?
Bruce
Because the implementations are so different, there might be some unbridgable divergences (e.g. direct ASM in Phix)
However, expect that when the OE team is able to implement something from Phix, that we'll try to follow Phix's API as much as possible.
(Case in point - my experimental threading branches are modeled on and attempt to reimplement the API that petelomax came up with for threading in Phix.)
I can't speak for petelomax and Phix but generally it seems that Phix tries to keep compatibility with OE when it's possible.
