How many people run that & think "oh, I can learn something new and up-to-date from this?". Zero. Were it not for David Cuny/Derek Parnell/Judith (et al) work on win32lib & the IDE, I would be long gone. What they have done is really great, but it would pale into insignificance if Rob bit the bullet and made (one of) wxWindows/FOX/Fltk/paragui/V or even Lua(?) part and parcel of the official package. Until such time, claiming that Euphoria runs on Linux I fear is met with derision. Who, really, would pay for Euphoria on a Linux box when they have Python/Ruby/GTK/blah/blah for free? One of Euphoria's touted points is cross platform; but without a cross platform GUI, who cares? Pete PS(?) Not sure I mean Lua, but the one where the gui is defined in a pre-cursor-to-XML-type-of-text thing >> Do we need a 'killer app' to make Euphoria more popular? The real cool 'killer app' we all actually want is just a *HUGE* demo set which you can run & at any point press a button & it shows you the code used to get what you just saw on the screen.
