Hi Rforno,

I was going to react to this topic but you took the words right off my
mouth. Marketing is the key to Euphoria's future. It needs a shiny box and
a good manual. I believe the strength of Euphoria is that it's
understandable for beginners but at the same time usefull for experts.

Bye,

Jasper.

I think the future of Euphoria does not depend on its features, which are
extremely good, but on the marketing effort behind it.
I developed a bunch of programs in Euphoria with much more ease than in any
other language, except perhaps APL. Debugging at the source code is very
good in Euphoria. Speedwise, Euphoria is the best, I think, of all
interpreted languages.
I also think Euphoria is perfect to teach programming to beginners, without
sacrifying its usefulness for advanced applications. In other words, an
Euphoria program is simple if the task is simple, and unavoidably complex
if
the task is complex, but less complex than, for example, a C program, with
its awkward pointers and memory allocations.
