My opinion, lets try to make Euphoria a little less Windows oriented
please.
I.E. Support it for _all_ platforms, not just promoting major windows
use.
Here are some things Eu could use:
1) OS specific calls, wrapped up in easy-to-call Eu libs.
2) GUI libs - Win32Lib, EuGTK, Llama/GTK, etc, but multi-platform.
3) Multi-platform Web util libs.
4) Tools for TCP/IP (and maybe UDP?) - like EuTCP4u, socketlib.eu, etc.
5) Very powerful math libs.
6) Games (for all platforms, not just DOS/Win)
7) Some *nix Hacker utils.
8) Multi-plaform graphics libs.
9) Multi-platform Emulated thread lib. (I'm working on a *nix version.)
10) Multi-platform IPC lib. (Like RDC.e, but which also works on
Windoze.)
Do that, and we have more people wanting to use Eu.
Now, add in-depth documentation for EACH one of these, explaining the
full use
of it to the _begining euphorian_, and we'll get Eu's popularity to
skyrocket!
(Well, there is the matter of promotion. Each of the libs will need to
become
as popular as Win32Lib.)
