so what's the 'grab me and me look at this feature' ... ?
Before we answer that about Euphoria, answer it for Python, Clojure, Go, Kotlin, Rust, C++ etc. None of these languages are "single issue" languages. I'm part way through the Exercism learning tracks for Python, Clojure, Go, Kotlin and Rust (and 21 others (language junkie much)). There's no "one feature" that grabs me about any of them. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Each requires a particular way of thinking about how to solve problems with programming languages. This "grab me and look at" sounds like marketing-speak. Before Perl was marketable, it worked. Before Python was marketable, it worked. Euphoria mostly works but needs more done before it works enough to be marketable.
