Things are progressing well on the compiler project.
By the end of this month I should be able to compile
any* Euphoria program into faster-executing C code.
After that, I have to do a lot of testing and optimizing.
Before releasing it, I'll compile lots of large programs and
make sure they work the same as when interpreted.
I need to test DOS32, WIN32 and Linux programs.
I need to try it with WATCOM, GNU and Microsoft C/C++.
This, plus polishing and documenting could take another
2 months. So maybe 3 months from now I'll be ready to
release the compiler and start looking at language features etc.

---------------------

*The only thing I know of that can't be compiled is
the "dynamic" include technique, where you overwrite
an include file, depending on some condition,
just before the include statement. Less than 1% of
Euphoria programs do this. These programs can't be
bound either.
