9. List features/libraries you would like to see for Euphoria which

Notes:
* Home hobbyists can still write commercial quality software.

Something to make 3d programming and game programming in general more user

Medium
Low X
15. How beneficial is/will the Euphoria Translator be for you?
High
Medium X
Low
16. How beneficial would slicing sequences that ARE NOT the last
subscript?
Notes:
e.g. ? x [2..5][3]
This would NOT break current code because it is currently
not legal. Example uses would include but not be limited to:
* vertical slicing of a bitmap
* retrieving all values of one field from a sequence of records.
High
Medium
Low X (don't fully understand it)
17. How beneficial would subscripting sequence with sequences be?
Notes:
This would allow subscripts to be BUILT programmatically.
Currently if we want to subscript, we have to specify how
far into the sequence we are delving by the number of square
brackets[] we use. This suggested extension would allow you
to subscript a sequence that you don't know the structure to.
This would NOT break current code because it is currently
not legal.
High
medium
Low X (don't fully understand it)

Much easier
A little easier X
No difference X(Inbetween)
