look, if I'm wrong in assumeing C# (sharp) to be Euphoria easy tell me.
The C# language reference manual was written by Anders Hejlsberg and Scott
Wiltamuth. I believe that Hejlsberg wrote Turbo Pascal and Delphi and was
lured away from Borland by Microsoft a while ago. To me C# (aren't they
sticking their necks out with that name?) resembles Delphi with curly
brackets. Hejlsberg has included procedural delegates for handling events,
properties, and a number of other features that appear in Delphi and Object
Pascal.

I don't think that it resembles Euphoria overmuch. It's big with quite a
few primitive data types, control structures, operators, and so on. Where
Euphoria has a single aggregate type, the sequence, C# has a bunch. Despite
what the press release said about portability, C# seems to be tied strongly
into Win32 API. For example, one must use existing class libraries because
there are none for C#.
