I originally proposed it as a solution to the namespace problems. For that
to work, though, it would need to be standard (or it would just conflict
with other people's routines, and thus not help at all). Now namespaces are
somewhat less of an issue, though I think it would be nice to use the
namespace qualifiers as little as possible. Besides solving namespace
problems, though, I hope it will eventually become standard in that new
users and Euphoria gurus alike won't have to search through the archive to
find a code snippet. Instead they'll be able to download ESL, and they'll
have a library with nearly all the basic routines they're likely to need.
Ultimately, I think it could be better than the current standard set of
includes since the current set lacks many frequently used functions, and
could be a lot better organized (i.e. math functions really don't belong in
misc.e).

    I have begun to post my thoughts on ESL to SourceForge. This seems to me
to be an important project, and if it is to be a Standard Library (and not
just
a 'snippet library'), then much more discussion is needed.
    Just what is ESL anyway?

"Austin, Texas". I wonder how that got there?
