Eu has its problems, but what doesn't?  Where is the alternative language that
has no "issues"?  I recognize that Euphoria will not be my solution *forever*,
possibly due to the rather slow rate of growth that you complain about, but at
the moment I literally make my living using the tools that I developed in
Euphoria -- tools that would be much more difficult in other languages.  And the
day 2.5 comes out, I will *happily* and *gratefully* register both the
interpreter, translator, & source code.  Euphoria has given me a hell of a lot --
I've given Rob a grand total of $30 or so for a registered translator.  I want
Euphoria to improve, but my main feeling about it is gratitude...
