I haven't gotten the memo yet anointing you the world spokesman "for other millions of Professional and hobbiest programmers that don't use OOP design". Lighten up a bit Todd. If you'll look at the above statement again, it's pretty obvious I'm not that great a fan of OOP either. However, I'm willing to live in today's world an experiment with new technologies. > >I, personally, don't have any interest in OOP design and probably >never will.

It was a simple question as to if and when he may introduce OOP into the core Euphoria, since so many messages about OOP were showing up on the mailing list. I'm not trying to PUSH anything so "heinous" as OOP on anyone. Gary.
