WOW!! I use PERL all the time for Internet programming and PERL's pattern matching is incredibly concise and powerful. I've seen claims from some pretty credible people that with PERL one can code pretty much anything 5 to 7 times faster than in C and from personal experience I'd say that is the case (for me so far, anyhow). Therefore, considering that eventually we'll see something like a Euphoria cross-platform server (like Apache perhaps?) I'd think that having such pattern-matching capabilities would be valuable. However, I don't know if there is a rush for them -- that will be determined by other responses by other folks I guess. Quite honestly David, your development time in Euphoria is such a KEY thing for the whole Euphoria community that I hope others with far more of a "Euphorian" perspective will truly consider what your time might best be spent on and make suggestions, and hopefully find something that you want to do that is, at the same time, urgent... it may be that a pattern-matching widget is needed more than other widgets...
