QBasic has been around for ages, it's an antique..
EU is still an infant in comparison..

It's certainly not a toy, but definitely needs some refinement..
IMO, as far as any interpretter I have seen, EU is definitely the best
there is..
I like the fact that it is so compact, but in the opposite, that means a
lack of a lot of *features*, but most everything can be done with it..
those features can be incorporated if you choose to code them..
Some languages give you everything that your heart could desire, but
they also take forever and a day to learn to use, and more often than
not, that means you never end up using them, also means if and when you
do use them, it's that much harder to get it right..
I have VB, and if I'm not trying to code a GUI app, which I never do,
then I never use it.. hence it sits on my shelf..
The only real drawback to EU is the lack of userbase, which would
provide a broader spectrum of libraries that I wouldn't have to code..
