When I write a shopping cart or forum in Euphoria, withs lots of heavy back-end
stuff going on THEN I'll be able to say one way or another. ;)
No doubt, it's fast enough though.

Nice simple design! The only way to go! I hate the clown-suit, Las Vegas looking
BS.......

ANY language can do CGI -- you know that! Hell I've written scripts in Bourne 
and Korn Shell code -- but its a major PITA. It all depends on the tools,
libraries and some built-ins.

mod-php, mod-perl, mod-lua (on Apache of course) make life so much easier to
develop certain kinds of sites. It's that inline code ....

I've been using EUphoria off my Apache server here at home as I'm developing a
cgi library for myself (and others if they want). Very fast!! It's my hope to be
able to showcase Euphoria in CGI/Web context starting with the URL in my sig.
