Since it can finally more or less run the queens.ex demo, I've decided that it's time to announce my latest and greatest project: a Euphoria to Java translator. As usual, it's pre-pre alpha, capable of only working with toy programs. You can download it from: http://www.lanset.com/dcuny/java.htm As implemented, the generated code is very sluggish. The reasons for it are... well, suffice it to say that there are a lot of things in the code that are being rewritten. Only a very small handful of library routines are coded, and in the case of some (clear_screen/get_key), they are merely stubs. As the included test.ex demo shows off, it's possible to implement routine_id/call_proc. Adding AWT or Swing should result in a cross-platform GUI version of Euphoria, which is the whole point of this exercise. As usual, feedback is appreciated. -- David Cuny
