I like Euphoria, but I refuse to settle with it's limitations if no attempt
will be made to fix them. That why I'm learning C as well. C has all the
power I need and it is simple for "me" to understand. The C syntax is prone
to errors, but I disagree that it's difficult to learn as apposed maybe
C++. I'm VERY sure I will quickly get used to the cyrptic nature of C
and it will all become second nature. And becuase I'm doing this, I will
not adbandon Euphoria, I will still support it. But it will most likely
not be my tool of choice.
