I suspect it comes from the idea that, given a programming project that 
started from scratch (ie. no-code reuse from other projects), one could 
achieve delivery of the product faster with Euphoria than with C++, and 
with fewer bugs.

I don't know of any hard data to support this position, and I'm sure it is 
anacedotal. Religious Wars have been started over less 

I'd love to see properly kept statistics over the life-time of a Euphoria 
project which was run in a CMM Level 3+ environment.
