Euphoria's 1 byte integers?
One drawback of using Euphoria is that the smallest
variable you can use is 4 bytes.
Say you wanna draw an 8-bit image, you're still
drawing a 32-bit image in a way, and yeah, that's slow
aswell as bulky.
But Euphoria could turn this flaw into its best
feature!
If Rob would COMPRESS sequences!
He can do this with the interpreter aswell as the
translator, because sequences are handled internally
anyways.
You know, just like a Zip File can be 70% smaller than
it's uncrompressed version, so could sequences be
compressed on an 'if possible' basis.
Sure things will slow down a bit, but you can let the
user make the all-famous Speed Over Size choice with
an 'with compression' statement.
Think about it, Rob.
