Re: Why Compilers are Doomed
I share your feelings about Java. It is the exact opposite of Euphoria in
ease of use.
However - one big advantage of java over C++ is, like Euphoria, it is almost
impossible to create memory leaks or eratically buggy code in java. The
beauty of java is that is really DOES work almost anywhere - I was able to
move fairly complex applications between a Cobalt Qube running on a MIPS
processor and a NT4.0 box without a hiccup. You can also, for example, get a
java version of VNC - allowing easy remote control of anything from
anything.
That is not something possible (yet) with Euphoria. A Mac Euphoria would be
a good project to do.
I hope to encourage the Euphoria community to seriously consider something
like win32lib but that will run on mac, windows and linux/xwindows
transparently.
