True - although Peu could be made understandable if it were thoroughly 
commented. However, there are some really basic design flaws in Eu/Peu that 
should be addressed first.

It does, but it isn't likely to happen. 
A GUI debugger shouldn't be too hard to write, the one which comes with wxLua 
is 1764 lines of code, and it implements a syntax-highlighting editor, 
breakpoints, watches, etc. nicely.

The reason Euphoria won't have one is because Rob doesn't see the need for 
such "new-fangled" things, and no one else is able to hook to the necessary 
Euphoria internals.

Sorry.
