Re: RDS is hopeless

horia is the least talked about subject :P.
Sorry to see another good programmer abandon the Euphoria realm. I
guess I just don't understand it. I absolutely hate OOP and will
never, ever use it. I disgust Java and C# with a passion. They're
messy, cluttered, confusing and filled with overhead that I don't need
or want.
I've been talking with a few programmers at work, and they're actually
switching from Java and C++ to Euphoria. Whether or not anyone sees
that as being a "smart" move, I really don't care. Euphoria is an
excellent language, and is just as powerful as C (not C++ or C#),
which I'm sure millions of programmers still use. No, we don't have
threading, but I've yet to come across a scenerio where I really need
it. I've dabbled witht the LangWar scheduling library and it works
pretty well, and built into the Interpreter may work even better.
--------------------------------
This is directed towards anyone "leaving" Euphoria: If you don't like
the language, then don't use it. Its just that simple. Don't *demand*
features that Rob doesn't want, need, or use. Sure, you're a paying
customer, but you're paying for an existing product, not a future one.
I've used this analogy before: If you buy a Honda Civic, and it's not
fast enough for you, don't throw a fit and complain to Honda about how
it needs a turbocharger and all wheel drive and what not.
Just go buy a different car.
