Re: Euphoria's Future?
Yes FP, yes & yes !!!
Documentation of Euphoria is wonderful,
and my native language is not English,
it is Russian. I had very large practice of
writing and editing of Russian naval/electronics
scientific texts (more than 10 years), and I can
say Euphoria's English documentation is crystal.
I understand it very well without translation
into Russian, in English as in my native language.
This is the very rare thing so clear and exact
expression of powerful programming ideas in
strongly concrete manual for strongly concrete
programming practice, and in very compact form.
This documentation is the *ideal* *instruction*.
But look for ideas in any instruction on OOP
and you'll find "the object is any thing, iron
or car or bread or ... for example. Just
remember for future".
Very clear for programmer, no ?
Just remember ... OK ... I'll rememmmber ...
I'mmmm very clever programmmer ... hmmmm ...
But C++'s and Java's manuals and books are
full of such the "ideas".
Yes, English Euphoria documentation is
so excellent that it is the very difficult
thing to corrupt this documentation
with translation into other languages 
My Russian readers say: Russian docs are
clear and exact thank you Robert very much!
(But Rob says he doesn't understand
Russian at all, I do not believe to him,
but can not examine his Russian here
There was the printed manual in CE pakage
earlier, but any one can prepare such the
manual on his/her taste with the color
printer now, I think.
