Just a random comment...
I have been using Euphoria since the 1990 decade. Yes, I'm old! I found it to be a very good language.
I can produce code much faster than in other languages. Compiled Euphoria was fast. There were few
problems. I am sorry that it is dying.
I think that lately one problem is that group efforts became diffused when a lot of non Euphoria stuff
crept into the group absorbing time and effort. Just look at the forum posts. Certainly the beginner
is lost. Is this bad? Probably not. Group interests are what they are. Maybe dividing the forum into
interest sections would help. I don't know.
It pays to advertise. I did a search for the Euphoria computer language. I could only find ONE set of
posts on YouTube. Perhaps a few short posts on YouTube would rekindle interest among newbies. I don't
know. I'm not a marketing expert. It all takes someone's time and dedication. If something is not done
Euphoria will continue its march into oblivion.
Regarding the Archives. I have a few of the include files from the old archives. Some are very useful
stuff like the sqlite interface and win32 GUI creation stuff. Why not include an area on the openeuphoria
site and just put the archive stuff there?
Just my thoughts, for what they are worth.
