re: what's Euphoria

what's an EDI? Do you mean IDE (Integrated Development Environment)?

I think of Euphoria as a cross between BASIC and C, with LISP-like data
structures (only better, 'cause you can access them like arrays). It's
interpreted, but faster than you think.

re: What's the purpose?

Hmmm. It's currently a DOS language, although Win32 calls will be added in
the future.

Cool features:

  - Public-domain version is FREE!
  - Fast
  - Easy to learn
  - Structured language
  - Lists as data structures
  - Great debugger
  - Accesses *all* your computer memory
  - Can be bound into executable

A lot of people are using it to develop video games.

What do I use it for? Mainly, stuff I would have coded in QBASIC. Only I
don't have to worry about running into the 64K memory wall. Very nice.
