How old is C? 40 years plus, right? And how many people use C? How many different C compilers are there? Euphoria is roughly 10 years old, it's still wet behind the ears. And its only being developed by one person. C was developed by teams of people, Heck it was re-developed into C++ and again into C#.NET. I don't think everyone jumped on C right away, or C++ for that matter. I but over the years people realized how powerful and dynamic C could be. So more and more people started using it. Now, a half a century later, 75% of all programmers (that I know) use C. If Rob continues to develop Euphoria, and we as users continue to use it and love it and promote it to other users, then maybe Euphoria will grow to the level of C, and in 30 years people will wonder why they ever relied on such an archaic language in the first place. ~Greg www.merkur.000k2.com <-- I don't think its working right now
